Urban Fabric
The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Award 2022 Winner
November 2022
In collaboration with Roudhah al Mazrouei and Jennifer Tsai
with mentor Goffredo Puccetti
Urban Fabric is a series of sculptures resembling pieces of thread. These forms are intertwined and interlaced into the ground. They turn the physical environment around the art piece into a canvas that the thread is woven into, linking each piece together. These come in two forms: a loose stitch and a tight stitch. They are designed to be interacted with to create a dynamic and thought provoking space.
Exhibition dates:
Abu Dhabi Art: November 15 – 20
NYU Abu Dhabi: November 23 – December 7
Umm Al Emarat Park: December 8 – 18
