In 1915 a terrible earthquake hit Avezzano completely destroying the Cathedral of San Bartolomeo, however only one object was spared and found in the rubble: a decorated pillar.
The geometric ribbon pattern of this pillar was then used as the basis for the construction of the liturgical set.
Liturgical set composed by:
Red and purple chasubles in cotton/viscose/lurex fabric, and white chasuble in silk fabric. Stolons made by alternating handwoven trimmings and embroideries that reproduce the decoration of the pillar.
Retrieval and analysis of documents related to the accident and images of the pillar found
Graphic realization of the project idea, and vector drawing of the geometric pattern to be reproduced on the stolons
Techniques used: handwoven trimmings with frame and embroidery
