About the Item

Please note this piece is available as shown but can also be commissioned to bespoke size and colour to suit your wall or project. Please just enquire. Additional images are provided to show other commissions by this artist. Anna Gravelle is a designer with a reputation for creating innovative fabrics and architectural art for private and public spaces. Her designs are developed through exploring traditional and contemporary processes which are realized using printed pattern and tufting. She works with British wool cloth and fine embroidery threads. 'Murmuration' is inspired by the natural phenomenon of thousands of starlings flocking before roosting. Its movement and texture is intriguing and makes for a wonderful conversation piece. It can hold its own on a clear wall as a work of art, and can be considered for above a bed or sofa. An engagement with materials and the process of making drives Anna's design practice. Her handcrafted textiles are designed in response to her fascination with textural landscapes and interpreting them through drawing, photography and mark making into stitch and print. Texture is at the heart of her design process with the aim of creating a beguiling and unexpected tactile experience. The main panel is wool based cloth with a linen backing cloth. An image of the artist turning the fabric over prior to backing is included to illustrate that the artist only sees this side of the fabric as she works. The hanging system is a polished acrylic bar with standing screws supplied making hanging as simple as hanging a painting. The textile sits away from the wall by 2 cm creating a natural shadow and added layer of three-dimensionality. An acrylic bar also supplied to slide into the bottom edge of the textile. This is not fixed but designed to weight the textile for an even hang. This bar measures 172 cm in length overall.
