Teresa Lanceta (Spain, b.1951) --- --- Cojin II 1999
Over decades, Lanceta worked with Berber (Amazsigh) women, part of a community of minority ethnic groups long rooted in the Atla Mountains of North Africa. “Cojin I-IV” parses the rhombus, a core motif in the Berber design lexicon, in a quartet of vibrant hangings that the artist displays in dialogue with the original prototype. Some 15 years later, Lanceta centred the rhombus ina monumental textile, “Adios al rombo, rosas blancas.” Woven in a looser, less refined stye, this work adopts the mellow register of an aged and faded tapestry.
