Fieno Fieno Fieno

There is a keen accord between Helen Mirra and Allyson Strafella, and a few years ago they began an intimate conversation of sorts. On the occasion of this project with Raffaella Cortese in Milan, this conversation continues with new works made in consideration of hay fields, straw bales and their contexts.

Helen Mirra presents small tapestry weavings. Even if the activity of long-distance walking, fundamental in Mirra’s practice, is not directly involved in these new works, her ongoing use of primary materials (linen and wool) demonstrates the connection to the ground and one senses the sameness of the rhythms of walking and weaving.
