Pile of pure New Zealand 3ply wool, ca 10% acrylic yarn and artificial silk // Flies by Jan Fabre, created in 2002, is a tapestry that displays a meticulous arrangement of insects, forming a repetitive pattern across a muted gray background. Each fly is depicted in intricate detail, with fine lines capturing the delicacy of wings and segmented bodies, alternating with curled larvae motifs that add a sense of life cycle and transformation. The repetitive layout evokes a sense of both order and nature's relentless cycles. Crafted with a blend of New Zealand wool, acrylic yarn, and artificial silk, the tapestry combines textures that enhance the visual intricacy. Fabre’s work often engages with themes of life, decay, and nature, and this piece encourages viewers to contemplate the often-overlooked beauty and symbolism of the insect world.
