Rose Petal Art - "A Flor de Piel"

Harvard Art Museums recently acquired A Flor de Piel, a tapestry by Colombian artist Doris Salcedo made out of thousands of dried rose petals stitched together. The piece was inspired by a Colombian nurse in the civil war who was tortured for helping soldiers on both sides of the battlefront. 

The room-sized tapestry will be on display from November 4th - April 9, 2017 at the Harvard Art Museums. The photo and full article can be read here
