Louise Martin

Tapestry Artist

Tapestry

My tapestries are quiet and contemplative, often intimate in scale and deceptively simple. My reduced colour palette of creams and whites, enable me to showcase my technique, playing with warp settings and structure. Linens, silks, wools and cottons are woven to produce subtle, profoundly serene images. Inspiration is drawn from Coptic tapestries, mummified objects, cloth and paper fragments.
