Tapestry VI

$200.00

Part of my Tapestry series, Tapestry VI is a celebration of colour, texture, and storytelling. Each work in this series brings together bold abstract expression with elements of traditional craftsmanship — incorporating textiles and stitching as both visual feature and symbolic thread. Hand-sewn fabric details and layered embellished trims drawn from diverse backgrounds create a rich, tactile surface that blurs the boundary between painting and textile art.

At the heart of this series lies the tapestry metaphor: the idea that life is an unfolding story, woven from a thousand threads of memory, emotion, experience, and connection. Like a woven cloth, each painting reveals a complex pattern that becomes deeper and more intricate over time — just as our own stories do.

Through spontaneous mark-making, layered paint, and unexpected materials, these works explore how beauty is built over time, how colour speaks emotion, and how every thread has a place. No two works in this series are alike, yet each belongs to a shared visual language of movement, rhythm, and meaning.

Medium: Acrylic, oil pastel, textiles and embellished trim on canvas
Size: 41cm (L) x 31cm (H)
Hanging: framed, ready to hang with D-rings and wire
Signed: on back

This artwork brings warmth, nostalgia, and a sense of hand-crafted beauty into contemporary spaces.
