“I work on the floor, barefoot, in my large, bright studio, creating freely, with no limits on gesture or size. At my side, shades of colour pile up on the floor…”.

Once the composition has been created, the scales of the wool fibres open and become embedded in the silk through friction and the action of water, cold and heat, transforming them into a non-woven textile, a fine, resistant felt.

Like Aubusson tapestries, these artworks can last for centuries, as the workshop draws on the centuries-old tradition in which it is located.

“Inheritor of this traditional and contemporary know-how, I create by hand all steps of creation and production of my textiles.”

The word “nuno”, of Japanese origin, signifies tissue. The Nuno Silk technique intimately blends natural wool and silk to create a non-woven fabric, all in lightness and transparency. It has its roots in the millennial process of felting from Central Asia. Its current version is a little-known area of expertise of the felt family, whose interlacing of fibers has been refined in Australia in the last part of the twentieth century.
