About the Artist

The author once again collides a number of cultural, historical and geographical patterns and plastic quotations in one space. The forest came here from 17th-century French tapestries, the hero's figure itself is seen as a reflection of medieval marginalia from Old German manuscripts, and the optimistic slogan on the wall and an eye in the sky, possibly related to the Alan Parsons Project song "Eye In The Sky", combine all these disparate elements into a single charming whole in a space woven with cotton threads with natural carpet dye.
