PROJECT

Α hybrid sculptural structure consisting of marble, stone, wood and thread, textures, and building methods used in the local structures will lead Maro to explore the traditional architecture and weaving art found on the island of Tinos. On the one hand, architecture is in line with the traditional consensus of the male architect (builder), and on the other hand, the female weaver takes over the interior (building) with textiles. A review of traditional art in terms of the practice itself brings to the surface relations between tangible practices, work, and gender.
