Created by artist Frida Baranek and architect Lia Siqueira for Arrivals Gate, this limited edition shawl has a silk-screen print that is not a derivative of drawings or computer renderings, but images of material insertions and occupations. The use of industrial materials is a common trace in Frida’s and Lia’s practices in Art and in Architecture. “Abstract Tape I” is made of fiberglass tape, usually used to repair walls. Establishing a reference to the body, without being illustrative, it proposes a sensory experience of movement through a person’s physical structure.

    The shawl is hand-made in pure cashmere. It is woven from the ultra-soft and fleecy hair from the chest, neck and under-belly of goats that live in the high altitudes of the Himalayan Mountains. It is very soft and lightweight. It takes days to produce this special shawl and its purchase supports Nepalese communities.
