tapestry



A painting I did years ago, it lives in a house with
lots of glass, I think it faded due to sun,
or it could be my memory that's faded..




& two ends of a tapestry I designed & had made
in Kashmir, which has lost some colour.
It was supposed to look like a mat with cushions;
they kept so closely to my painting, that they even rendered
how the paint had flaked off, in transit. I was living
in Dalhousie then, a hill station in northern India.
& I knew a lovely woman who ran a womens' handicraft
centre in Srinagar.

Interesting patterns: Sara Haraigue

I love the painting and the tapestries. So much you have created that I haven't seen...

Unfortunately, there's a lot that I didn't photograph at the time. You can see the tapestry, though, next time you visit. xx
