FRANCES VH
Hopes of Thunder
- Description
Hand‑woven in Karoo mohair by Frances van Hasselt and her studio artisans, Hopes of Thunder is an evocative piece that reflects Frances’s connection to the land and its skies. Made from lustrous, locally sourced mohair, this textile (rugs / blanket / throw) is crafted with the delicate sheen and soft resilience that defines the fibre. With its muted yet moody tonal palette and the rich tactile quality of handspun mohair, this work is both a visual and sensory interpretation of thunder-hung skies — a symbol of renewal, yearning, and grounded elegance.
ABOUT Frances VH
