Tapestry weaving, 39.5 × 42.5 × 1 inches , 2014 Wool, cotton, hemp, linen, mixed yarn Mounted on a wooden bar; ready to hang; ships in a box.
This tapestry depicts two dancing, intertwined swans. Its distinctive feature is its three-dimensional effect: the wings appear raised thanks to the varied weaving directions, creating a natural, light texture. The forms were further enhanced by filling certain areas from the inside, emphasizing the volume and grace of the birds. Rendered in a restrained palette of whites and greys, the work gains a striking, contemporary presence. Birds are a recurring theme in my work, and their elegance continues to inspire my artistic practice.
