Lace murals

Artist Nespoon paints murals inspired by local lace patterns:

Prior to sketching one of her large-scale lace patterns on a residential building or commercial facade, the Warsaw-based artist visits museums and meets with residents to learn more about the region’s culture and its ties to fiber arts. “I respect and commemorate the emotional bound between individual patterns and particular cities or even particular groups of lacemakers. If there is no tradition of lace making in the area where I work, I ask for laces in the homes of elderly people living nearby,” she tells Colossal. “I always find something.”
