Somewhere In Between: Weaving the Future, will feature a selection of new works that build on Omar Chasan's signature style of freehand, intuitive weaving. These pieces are created without prior sketches and decisions are made organically at the loom, guided by instinct and rhythm, allowing each work to evolve naturally and embrace spontaneity and emotion as part of the final composition. Heirloom will present Omar's work in context with antique and vintage Mexican pieces from their collection
