About the Item

This wall-hanging textile sculpture titled "Full Moon" is an original artwork by Vanessa Barragão made of latch hook, hand-tuft, embroidery, felt and crochet. Using recycled fiber materials, the artist draws inspiration from seascapes and moonscapes to create this tapestry's environment from a combination of textile and craft techniques. This piece measures 98.5"h x 98.5"w and can be displayed on a wall or, more traditionally, on the floor. Vanessa Barragão is a Portuguese textile artist focusing on the artisanal techniques and wasted yarns from the industry to create textiles. Growing up by the seaside, her connection to the ocean is the inspiration for her artworks. Vanessa’s work is characterized by her captivating environments of coral reefs, cleverly combining craft and recycled materials into unique sculptural carpets and tapestries for floors and walls.
