hand-woven mohair prayer mat, made collectively by women artisans in the Frances vH Mohair studio

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.

Mama sê ek mag nie - but you just know she’s going to do whatever she promised not to.
Through the window she sees Steisie Meisie ready to put on her
crown and step out. Next thing she knows she’s out too, dominos
thrown down like stepping stones, a hop-scotched-road leading into
the promised land - Hi Ma!
