Wool and felt art: a closer look

Natural wool texture and compositions that unfold in the details.

When the material becomes part of the image

Wool artwork is about more than its subject. Fibres create their own texture, with soft transitions, volume and a sense of depth. A closer look reveals how individual areas come together in a complete composition.

Nature and culture in the collection

Sasa Bilyalovna Meshezova draws on the nature of the Caucasus, horses, home and Circassian traditions. Her collection includes forest and mountain landscapes, village scenes and people in traditional dress.
