Riitta

Riitta is made up of parts and pieces upcycled from previous projects. For instance, the red wedge shapes are offcuts from some feet Bossert made for a sofa. This wall relief is comprised of dyed maple and birch plywoods, aluminum, and hand-dyed handwoven fabric. The composition is based on rugs, with a center focal point contained by multiple frames. The wall pieces Bossert makes are titled like hurricanes: women's names in alphabetical order. Riitta is the 18th wall piece in this series. Riitta is named after the former owner of the artist's house, who was Finnish. This piece uses a French cleat system for hanging. You will need a level when mounting the cleat and possibly wall anchors if you are hanging it on drywall.
