Botterblom Collection: Mohair Tapestries from the Karoo
Timed Online Auction, 2 - 24 February 2025
Botterblom Collection
About the SessionThe collective of artisans, working at Frances VH Mohair Studio, has created a space where vision, dedication, storytelling and shared purpose coalesce through the power of creative agency and voice. Their latest project, the impactful Botterblom Collection, traces aspects of daily life that pulse through a street in a neighbourhood in Prince Albert. Woven from the dreams, hopes and fears of everyday life, the collection is a celebration of the beauty inherent in imperfection while also showcasing and contributing to material culture. What emerges from the collection is sensual, deeply spiritual and unique work, taking on the name of the street to honour the marks of time embedded in place.
About this Item
Notes
Made for Miena MacDonald’s home. A beautiful soul, gone too soon,
but embedded in those privileged enough to have known her.
This piece speaks to roughly plastered walls, lintels holding up doors,
windows positioned to allow for winter sun, but keep out summer heat.
The extensions we make when times are good and the resources we
use to build in times of need. Together these renovations become
a larger piece that can no longer be seen in their sections. Instead,
it stands as a home, a revelation of everyday choices that end up
holding walls in place.
