Elena Scacchi, Textile Artist Carpet
About Elena Scacchi
ELENA SCACCHI, born in 1963, is a visual artist specializing in textile materials with passion for carpets and art.
Her work centres on integrating art and craft production processes, resulting in functional pieces that stand as complete works of art.
Her practice intertwines knowledge of materials, technique, and viewer experience.
Using Merino wool from the Zegna company, ELENA employs a hand-tufting technique with a machine she manipulates on vertical frames, inserting stitch by stitch.
The production process is labor-intensive and meticulous, demanding significant physical effort and precise technique.
