Hanging in the courtyard of IZZA is a 15-metre-long vertical embroidery by Margaux Derhy. Featuring the outline of an elusive figure – a faceless woman wearing a bright-blue dress – the pale gauze on to which the artist has sewn blends into the white wall behind it. Women are the protagonists of Derhy’s compositions, both in the narratives she depicts and the making of the work (the embroidery studio she runs in Massa employs 10 local women from the town).
