Like other sculptors (Gilioli, Adam, Ubac…), Hairabédian turned to tapestry (his studio was located in Creuse from 1975 to 1985). In the absence of volume, his spectacular composition plays on the size of weaving stitches, the hollowing out of space with the blank warp… processes typical of the ‘New Tapestry’.
