Timed Online Auction, 2 - 24 February 2025

Botterblom Collection
About the Session

The 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.

Notes

A clear night sky only to be interrupted by a pregnant moon.
We will have no stars tonight. A meerkat looks up and ducks
down again - it’s only the breeze shifting dried seedpods
begging to be spread.
Nothing seems to move much at this hour, only the moon as
she continues to drift up then down towards tomorrow.
