The work is created from richly textured, handwoven and looped yarns in a beautiful palette of earthy and muted colours, including olive green, ochre, brown, grey, blue, and deep red. The different textures and irregular strands give the piece a wonderfully tactile and almost sculptural character.

Its elongated form creates a strong vertical presence on the wall, while the layered composition has an organic, abstract quality. Typical of the textile art of the period, the work combines craftsmanship with a free and expressive approach to colour and form. A unique vintage wall decoration that brings warmth, texture, and an artistic 1970s character to any interior. See less
