Lynne Curran
Pencil study 'Billet-Doux' by female tapestry weaver Lynne Curran in pale pinks

1988

About the Item

A dreamlike drawing by the contemporary female tapestry weaver Lynne Curran. Lynne Curran trained in tapestry at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1973-77. Her work is influenced by her surroundings and is an expression of her thoughts and interests. Her tapestries do not begin life as paintings but rather with the first movement of the shuttle across the warp, having evolved from notes in her sketchbooks. This work is probably one of those sketchbook notes. Despite the simplistic nature of the imagery there is a palpable sense of mystery and gracefulness in her work. Lynne Curran's works are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The Burrell Museum, Glasgow; and the Uffizi Collection, Florence. The details of the work are: Lynne Curran (British, b. 1954) The Billet-Doux pencil signed, inscribed and dated ‘The Billet-Doux Lynne Curran 1988’ (lower right) 10.1/4 x 10 in. (26 x 25.3 cm.)
