Congratulations to ATW weavers Tim Gresham, Leonie Bessant, Sue Carstairs, Amy Cornall, Chris Cochius, Saffron Gordon, Pamela Joyce, David Pearce, Emma Sulzer, Cheryl Thornton and Caroline Tully for completing the monumental tapestry 'Old Media' designed by Emma Biggs & Matthew Collings.
This tapestry was commissioned for a private collection the United Kingdom and the artists responded to a specific colour palette specified by Paris architect Luise Laplace.
The design for the tapestry was created by UK artists Emma Biggs and Matthew Collings;
“Colour is important to us. We tried to choose colour that seemed translucent – an illusion of dancing light – a bit like celluloid colour to remind you of the flickering colour you see on film. The apparent transparency of the motifs (the main shapes) is offset by opaque field colours: the blues and greys. It aims to feel uplifting, a bit like a sunset, or a dawn." - Emma Biggs & Matthew Collings
The tapestry took 7 months to complete.
