Bubblegum Moonrise is a hand-spun and handwoven mohair tapestry created by the women artisans of Frances v.H. Mohair, a studio founded by artist Frances van Hasselt in South Africa's Karoo region. Working with mohair sourced from the van Hasselt family's historic angora goat farm, this charming and delicately abstract tapestry tells a story of origin—of the delicate Karoo ecosystem that sustains the fiber, and of the skilled hands that transform it. Color is central: earthy tones echo the Karoo's arid landscapes and moody skies, while vivid brights recall objects in domestic life—each showcasing mohair's lustrous ability to bring color to life.

Bubblegum Moonrise is part of the Botterblom Collection—named after a street in Prince Albert, a small town in the Karoo where the collective of eleven women artisans who created the collection live. Each tapestry carries with it a layered narration-of Botterblom Street, its people and places, of shared histories, and of the individual stories woven into the work by every artisan's hand.
