Using scraps leftover thread from
her family’s carpet factory in Buenos Aires, artist Alexandra Kehayoglou embarks on a laborious
hand-tufting process
to fabricate wool carpets and rugs that mimic natural textures like moss, water, trees, and pastures.
The carpets balance form and function and can powerfully transform an entire room into a lush meadow dotted with pools of water and tufts of grass.
Many of her works even function as part tapestry and flow from walls to floor, or work as covers for chairs or stools.
