The artists have used different colored used clothes, bedding and fabric remnants from factories for a large tapestry woven solely from textile waste. In seven consecutive panels, they tell the story of fabric, but also the relation between man, plant and waste.

In addition to the environmental message, a more personal theme of the artists - motherhood - is also evident in the work. This is present not only literally, as both artists are mothers, but also in the allegorical sense of Mother Earth or Mother Nature.

The tapestry was created under the artists' hands over six months. They began by cutting and weaving strips of fabric, which they then gradually wove together on a grid. The handmade, homely work contrasts with the clean, secluded environment of the exhibition hall. It impresses not only with its vastness and complexity, but also with its attention to detail and colour combinations.

Originally, the tapestry "Breasts, Children, Creatures and Waste" was created as part of a project accompanying the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2022.

BARBORA FASTROVÁ (*1988) and JOHANA POŠOVÁ (*1985) have been collaborating for ten years and their work focuses on the relationship between nature and (Western) culture. They have also been dealing with the topic of sustainability for a long time - recycling serves both as a theme and as a part of their creative practice. They are experimenting with the extent to which their commitment to conscious and ecological behavior influences the preparation of exhibitions, their final form and the viewer experience.
