WILD TAPESTRY #17

Abstract paintings in textile. In a long and meditative process, layer upon layer of fabrics -some precious, some salvage- are placed on top of one another to create fields of colour; they are then sewn into rows, or other geometric forms and subsequently cut and subjected to a special washing process which draws out the colours and textures from underneath. The result is a painting in textile which is ancient yet contemporary, precious yet punk. Designed and made by Nuala Goodman.
