Bio
Morevi, the creative moniker of Georgian-Belgian artist duo Ana Naskidashvili and Frederik Poisquet, focuses on the ancient craft of hand-felting. Historically, hand-felted tapestries in Georgia, especially in the Tusheti region, were crafted by families and served as central elements in homes, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Morevi seeks to bring this concept into a contemporary context, creating pieces that evoke the same sense of connection and warmth. The making process is central to their work, involving a series of meditative and repetitive gestures. Morevi values the relationships forged between the material and the creator, the artwork and its audience, and between the materials themselves. Their working method results in minimal artworks that embody subtle interactions between a natural, uncontained visual language and the intentional human intervention.
