Contemporary Woven Tapestry: Daybreak

About the Item

This tapestry titled “Daybreak” is made up of shades of grey and white with fine streaks of colour woven within it, it is of the moments when night recedes and daylight begins, and the soft grey and white tones depict the slightly misty moments when you start to see details of the landscape becoming clearer and colour starts to creep in. The white lines across the tapestry represent the light taking over from the darkness. This piece is one of 6 tapestries inspired by the Night Sky, each tapestry in the series depicts a different time and aspect of the night or early morning. It is hand dyed and hand woven by the artist in her studio near the Thames Barrier in Woolwich. It is made of 100% British wool with a cotton warp, the wool has been specially spun in Yorkshire. Changes in light, time and landscape and our emotional responses to it are the focus of her work, she is interested in our thoughts about dark and light and these 6 tapestries explore the texture and quality of darkness and the disorientation and seclusion that nightime brings, where shadows and moonlight emphasise our feelings and alter our perceptions. Each tapestry in the series is a different weight and texture to highlight the qualities of that particular time.
