The tapestry functions simultaneously as a work of art and a decorative textile, occupying the creative space between the gallery and the interior that mid-century fiber artists were among the first to claim.

Mid-century modern hand-woven tapestries of this type — created by artist-weavers who understood that the loom was as valid an artistic instrument as the canvas — represent an important chapter in the history of 20th century decorative art, and the finest examples are now collected by design museums and private collectors who prize their combination of artistic ambition, material quality, and decorative power.
