Zindheks represent the most basic utilitarian weaving of Morocco’s material culture. Woven with recycled and/or industrial fibers (more rarely with wool) by hooking the yarn through a plastic foundation, these are employed in a variety of ways, from easily transportable prayer mats, to saddle blankets as well as various other types of covers. Their designs are among the most creative and as diverse as one can find.
Here the weaver transformed what is supposed to be a utilitarian weaving into a work of abstract art. The field is randomly embellished on both sides by amorphous forms in contrasting colors, in a manner that is not very dissimilar from Abstract Expressionist painting. Was she familiar with that period or is it a manifestation of her artistic sensibility?
