About the Item

This tapestry titled “Dusk over South East London” is made up of at least 20 different shades of blue woven together, it depicts a beautiful rich blue sky with a streak of yellow/green at the bottom, the artist Justine Randall created this piece after seeing this scene in early winter near her home, the streak of green/yellow is light from the City of London in the distance. This piece is sold with fixings. The tapestry is attached to a wooden bar which latches on to a frame (neither which is visible from the front) which hangs from the wall. The frame is dismantled for sending. The frame ensures the tapestry hangs straight and slightly away from the wall. 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 London. 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.
