WOVEN TAPESTRIES
[Interior Application: Textile Centre Haslach Residency]
2025
A series of tapestries woven at Textile Centre Haslach. During the residency, I explored checked patterns and experimented with breaking their regularity through hands-on interventions, such as cutting floats to create visual and tactile irregularities. This process led me to consider how floats could become an integral part of the pattern itself, and what new effects might emerge once they were cut. In doing so, I dived into the magic of layered construction: what might be revealed beneath the cut floats, and how might different materials behave once the floated areas were disrupted?
By repurposing pre-consumer waste materials sourced from a tufted wool carpet company based in the Netherlands, I was able to integrate high-quality leftover wool yarns from industrialised production systems into my woven artworks.
Using these yarns, I explored bold weave structures alongside unique colour blended yarns made by plying multiple yarns together. Paper yarns and bold, mono-coloured linen yarns were also integrated to creating tactile, graphic designs that highlighted the contrasting qualities of wool, paper and linen.
Feel free to get in touch if are interested in any of the pieced or if you would like to explore a custom woven tapestry for your project. Email me!
