We have been working with weaving since 2012; kilims have been especially at the center of this fabric curiosity. In our practice, kilims are textile displays of geography: water, plants, sheep, mountains, shepherds, spinners, and weavers all participate in the making of the wool, the yarn, the dye and the weaving. They are places and make places.
