Salt Lake City | 10' x 7' | 2002 | wool, silk, cotton Available for purchase or loan, price upon request
Leading up to the 2002 Olympic Games, Sola lived in Salt Lake City fulfilling her dream of creating a "tapestry of the mountains to match the Games.”
The resulting 10-foot-wide by 7-foot-high work captures the Wasatch Front from the air. It is the outcome of untold hours spent in the City's Crossroads Plaza where Sola, quite literally, wove one snowflake at a time. As with each of her large photo-realistic tapestries, Salt Lake City's sheer scale and artistry commands attention.
Sola recounts, "I was awed by the geography and fell in love with the mountains. You see how they were originally folded up, how the glaciers carved them and the rivers wind their way through them; how people came along and built their roads and cities."
