Aqua Memoria At Fabrica Hill
Weaving Waters - Andreas Savva
 
    I wasn't sure what to make of this one to start with. It is a bit similar to the art they had installed here back in 2017, during the Cultural Capital Of Europe Year. If you recall that was pink spiderwebs. You can read more about it in this article we wrote back in 2017: Let's take a look at Fabrica Hill.
The second time I saw this it was night. It looks a bit better then...
 
    
            
        
        
    
    
    Night View
 
    See what I mean? Amazing what a bit of subtling lighting can do to a work of art.
More Information
 
    This is part of the information page. There is more so scan the code with a phone to read it:
At the heart of Fabrika's central cavity. Andreas Savva, with his work Weaving Waters weaves transparent tape into a spatial mesh that re-enacts the logic of the quarry through a deft play of solids and voids. The cave is no longer a backdrop but an active apparatus; internal corridors, thresholds, and passages invite the visitor to move in and around the installation, in a resolutely immersive experience where the body and the eye gradually enter the work's fluctuating microcosm.
Traces And Matter - Elena Daniel
 
    Next to the metal structure you will find this piece. Personally it is one of my favourites. I love how the fabric hugs the rocks in the same way that water would. It emphasises the natural beauty of the rock.
Information
 
    Of course it would help if I showed you the code...
This is the first part of the information page. There is more so scan the code with a phone to read it:
Traces and Matter, the work of Elena Daniel, reactivates weaving not as ornament but as a means of reading space - a way of tracing its palimpsest-like layers. The woven thread, inserted into stone, does not obstruct instead, it records ancient circulation, temporarily stitching micro-fractures to reveal the hidden dialogue between rock, water, and gesture.
Here, the textile acts as a flexible, not-invasive infrastructure. Through its capillary capacity to embrace, retain and filter, it translates the hydraulic history of Fabrika into a sensitive cartography - a tactile form of writing that brings into dialogue the visible traces of human intervention (cut marks, grooves, cavities) with the intangible ritual practices once bound to water. Weaving thus becomes a a material mediation between archaeology and the present, where water memory - absent yet active - re-emerges through gesture.

                Let's Take a Look At Fabrica Hill
We've driven past Fabrica Hill many times over the years, and often wondered what was up there. (It's the area of land diagonally opposite The Mall, in case you didn't know). After comments and photos started appearing on the forum about the erection of a raised walkway, we decided a visit was overdue. With no expectations of what we would see when we got there, other than a vague feeling of disappointment that despite what it looked like, they weren't building a roller coaster, this is what we found. 
            
                Fabrica Hill in 2023
A few years ago we took you on a tour around Fabrica Hill. As it is an Archaeological Site you could be forgiven for thinking that it hasn't changed in that time, but you would be wrong. There is still plenty of Archaeology waiting to be discovered there, and every year there are new digs. So how have things changed since we were last there?Good Pages To Visit

                    eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
                    Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road. 
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings. 
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
