Entrails Carpet by Mona Hatoum 1995



The body is often present in Hatoum's work. A carpet would evoke feelings of comfort and warmth. The rubber shapes could be large loops of wool but they look more like human entrails which are repelling. I found the surface interesting as i could cover the ball shape with insulation foam to make it appear as a brain . This would fit in with the idea that we are inside the brain dealing with inner thoughts and dreams.
