Rendering of Writings

Jacquard weaving; silk, wool, wire, lurex

An early exploration of the life and work of Yuhannah Dawud, a London based Jewish-Iranian collector of Persian manuscripts, who has destroyed his collection by means of knife and scissors. The woven pages are based on the re-assembled elements of manuscript pages that Dawud has taken apart, their colors alluding to the pages materials and shining appearance.
