Chapter 3HREE presents four sculptural tapestries from the early eighties, in which old leather jackets, saddlebags and curtains can be recognised. The monumental works with balanced colour nuances look both abstract and animalistic and have an unmistakably erotic ambience.
After her education at the Academy for Industrial Design in Eindhoven, sculptor Carla van Riet (1940, the Netherlands) specialised in the production of two- and three-dimensional objects made of textile and leather.
