Moufflon are a type wild sheep (Ovis orientalis and O. musimon) native to the mountains of Sardinia, Corsica and western Asia (especially Turkey and southern Iran). The males have large curling horns.
The moufflon is to Cypriots what the kangaroo is to Australians - an easily recognisable national emblem that appears in a stylised form on the distinctive gold, blue and white tail fin of their national airline, Cyprus Airways.
The male moufflon is a very handsome beast, he is similar in built to a young strongly-built buck with a short-haired coat, short tail and very distinctive curled horns that can be as long as 60 cm.
Traditionally, the moufflon move to the higher areas in the mountains in the summer, and to the lower areas in the winter.
Moufflon Bookshop continually informs, surprises and entertains its customers and visitors with its diverse displays that expose significant connections between the visual, applied and literary arts.
The series of works, currently on show at Moufflon’s Lefkosia bookshop, merge text with textile confirming the artist’s intention that “to weave a thread and draw out a story may be part of the same process” (D.W.Conroy).
Diana Wood Conroy’s work is now on display at the Moufflon Bookshop until the end of April and her publication ‘The Fabric of the Ancient Theatre’ is now available to purchase.
