About the Item

Textile Art, Hand-crafted, Crochet, Knit, Art Blanket, Knitted Tapestry, Wall hanging, Affordable Art. Surreal and playful vase depicting a yacht against a sunset with highly textured flowers including flowery eyes and some lips alluding to a face. Luxurious blends of predominantly wool yarns are hand-worked with accents of speciality yarns, mohair and super-synthetics. Knitted and crocheted pieces are individually created connected in an intricate and time-consuming patchwork/ collage process. Each Blanket is a one-off piece, vibrantly coloured, highly tactile and soft to the touch. It can be displayed as a wall hanging or a throw blanket. Paris Essex work is hand-crafted by two textile artists, in East London. Recent works are a series of unashamedly joyful and exuberant woolly pieces. Scaled-up crochet techniques from 1970s craft books have been combined with recognisable 1980s domestic knitting-machine patterns. Rather than rejecting and avoiding outdated and sexist ideas of women’s crafts and home-making from their childhood, they have found themselves paying respect to all forms of domesticity and are playfully nostalgic for feminine stereotypes that they used to avoid. Recent work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, London , Margate, Barcelona, Lithuania and China, Milan and Paris. Paris Essex is a partnership between Essex girl, Carolyn Clewer and Parisienne, Tiphaine de Lussy. Creative collaboration between the two knit and textiles specialists began decades ago at the Royal College of Art, London, UK. They work in a space where distinctions between craft, design, fine art and low culture are blurred and of equal worth.
