Awakening Tapestry

Luisa Longo defines her works of Fibre Art as ‘tapestries,’ her signature painted silk organza canvas indeed lends itself to the decoration of walls. The fruits of uninterrupted experimentation, a highly personal genre of the utmost craftsmanship combines a whole host of different decorative techniques on cloth by using pigments from a variety of sources. These tapestries are simultaneously pictorial as well as tactile works and they are characterized by heavy dollops of color.
