South Africa 21st century
vluit vluit my storie is uit, No 1, Botterblom Collection, 2024

hand-woven mohair prayer mat, made collectively by women artisans in the Frances vH Mohair studio
100cm by 62cm *measurements variable depending on hanging mechanism and tassels

Notes

A series of three prayer mats for the everyday; celebrating the words
that land on your kitchen floor, the chatter of friends, Friday night
scenes, Sunday gatherings, chickens scratching in the sand. The
dressed-up and dressed-down moments that make up a patchworked story of place.

‘Vluit-vluit my storie is uit’ is a phrase concluding you are now
‘done’. Usually, this statement follows a lengthy entanglement
of tales and drawn out stories; catching yourself long after
your audience has left the building.
