About The Artwork
Sergo Tbileli’s 2018 mixed-media piece, “Embroiderers of Fate,” masterfully combines intricate brushwork and woodcut cut-outs to create depth and meaning. The artwork features three embroiderers, reminiscent of the Greek mythical Moirai, “The Fates.” Each figure represents a different aspect of fate: Clotho as the spinner, Atropos as the unturning, and Lachesis as the alloter. Tbileli transports these mythical figures into a familiar world, suggesting that we are the ones who weave our own destinies. The vibrant, geometric patterns and abundant animals in the piece evoke the constant movement of nature and the interconnectedness of life.
