Kombi is proud to present an exhibition of mohair tapestries created by the women artisans of Frances v.H. Mohair, a studio founded by artist Frances van Hasselt in South Africa's Karoo region.

Hand-woven with mohair sourced from the van Hasselt family's historic angora goat farm, the tapestries tell a story of origin—of the delicate Karoo ecosystem that sustains the fiber, and of the skilled hands that transform it. 

Each tapestry is a dialogue between artist, maker, and material. As the weaver responds to the subtle variations in texture and character of the yarn, a narrative emerges—­collective yet deeply personal, woven into form with intuition and care.  Color is central: earthy tones echo the Karoo's arid landscapes, while vivid brights recall domestic life, together showcasing mohair's lustrous ability to bring color to life.

Through these works, Frances van Hasselt expands the creative possibilities of mohair, weaving together land, heritage, and collective practice into contemporary art that is at once grounded in place, and expansive in spirit.
