Pattern of Crafts

The textile is handwoven from linen and seaweed that Violaine Buet collects at Brittany’s seaside. The colours of the textile partly dyed with indigo evoke a horizon, a meeting point of the sky and the earth. Violet’s savoir-faire is a dialogue between macro-algae and textile techniques, between nature and craft.
