As I said it is all about weaving which is what this town is famous for. Now weaving and mosaic have a stronger relationship than you might think. Each knot on a weavers warp is a unit, as is a mosaic tile.
I have spent my whole life doing mosaics wich make lines like a bag of worms (Romans called this vermiculatum and when it is over the entire mosaic they called it musivum). Now this weaving thing has blown that out of the water and I am very interested in this unit approach. Like resolution in pixels. Its about making patterns really and not trying to make images look real. It is more like writing with symbols which mean or represent something.
I have to try a design incorporating this technique.
