Textile Piece for Mövenpick Hotel, Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah

Artist Stephanie Neville was commissioned by Capsule Arts to create a contemporary textile piece. This textile artwork was inspired by the rich and colourful landscape of Ras Al Khaimah and nods to the cultural craft of Sadu and Khous weaving which are both traditional weaving techniques practiced in the UAE.
