LeBrun
Ukrainian Rug
Françoise´s mother is from the Ukraine, but she grew
up in East Africa. I’m not lucky because I will not see the
Ukrainian handcraft exhibition at the recently opened Ukrainian
Museum. Unfortunately, it’s scheduled to open in the fall.
Because of the move, the library is still not open and the some
80 rugs from the Museum’s collection are being stored in another
place.
The woman who works at the museum explains to me the difference
between the floral rug designs from the eastern part of the country
and the geometrical ones from the western part. In the Ukrainian
store on East 7th Street there are simpler and newer goods. We take
a picture. |
