About the Item

This tapestry titled “Moonlight, midnight and shadows” depicts a moonlit scene with 2 trees silhouetted against a rich blue sky, it is made up of various shades of blue, blue/purple and black, the moonlight is depicted by bands of silver grey across the width of the tapestry. This piece was created when the artist was walking home one night and observed the quiet and tranquillity created by moonlight and the sense of nervousness and fear created by the shadows. The yarn used to create this piece is superb quality British wool, quite thick and smooth, this piece was hand dyed and hand woven by Justine in her studio. 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.
