About the Item

This stunning artwork by contemporary artist Jo Barker captures vibrant color and texture through painstaking handweaving technique. The ephemeral qualities of light are translated slowly into the woven form using a combination of soft and richly coloured yarns. Here, against a light turquoise background, bright blues and greens swirl around a white circular shape, flecked with hints of pink and orange. Connecting to the viewer’s emotional response, Barker’s masterful use of color and texture is exhilarating, developing a unique visual language to create a work that is both soft and intensely saturated.
