Nelly Agassi: Spirit of the Waves

In the spring of 2019, The Weaving Mill worked with artist Nelly Agassi to produce a large-scale textile installation for her Graham Foundation exhibition Spirit of the Waves. TWM worked with Nelly to translate architectural elements from the Madlener House into a series of woven draperies.
