ARTIST: Lucrecia Lionti

MATERIALS: 100% wool

METHOD: Hand-knitted with two needles

Using rustic wool sourced from northern Argentina, Lucrecia Lionti develops a large-scale knitted structure that moves between garment, landscape, and textile environment. 

Conceived as an open system without fixed boundaries, the work shifts between poncho, field, and suspended textile surface, translating the iconic shape of the Argentine poncho into the universal language of football.

ARTIST STATEMENT

"Through this piece, the field becomes something that can be worn, inhabited, and experienced as a shared surface — a space that belongs to everyone, regardless of where they come from."
