Aubusson Tapestry : The Great Lady Collection
YMER&MALTA / Férreol Babin
2018
« (…) A bench gives an impression of burnt wood while the tapestry catches the eye with its clear, precise design like a calligraphy, belying the generous, sensual feel of the warm, comfortable material. »
Bruno Ythier – Chief Curator at the Cité Internationale de la Tapisserie d’Aubusson
« Where Aubusson tapestries traditionally create a narrative from the forms that are woven, YMER&MALTA proposed a fundamentally new approach: the creation of a complex motifs built using the material itself as a base. It is more like textile sculpture than anything else.»
Nadia Petkovic, Weaver
This piece was presented at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris during Valérie Maltaverne’s Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres Award ceremony.
