2018 Catalan letter

The origin of this edition dates back to 1999 when I began to make the fabric of a Catalan card with the figure of a reaper that corresponds to the number 10 of the sword stick, represented in this card game, by the sickle, the tool of reaping the wheat.

I started doing it using the technique of the high linen, on a wooden frame, white cotton warp, weft of colored linen threads and the technical support of a mirror. But this process came to a halt.

With the referendum on 1 October, and made by the Spanish state repression against the Catalan people, the fabric and the mirror, take a new meaning to inspire this “Catalan Letter” in an unique edition.
