[/heading][vc_column_text]So many things can be said about tapestry weaving; the technique, the different fibers (linen, wool, cotton, silk and a myriad of other non traditional filaments and threads), the colors, the textures, the historical references, its place in the world of design and architecture and its expression of contemporary art.

Many other aspects pertain to tapestry weaving; is it abstract or representational, two dimensional or volumetric, does it follow the rules of classical weaving techniques or does it break the rules? Weaving just as other aspects of contemporary art can be Conceptual, Minimal, reference Pop Art among others or in a category of its own.

However the one constant among so many choices is that manual tapestry weaving done on a loom requires love, patience and a particular knowledge and appreciation of technique (necessary even when breaking the “rules”). Its execution is undeniably slow and no matter the dimensions cannot and should not be rushed.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][nectar_portfolio layout=”3″ category=”recent-textile” project_style=”1″ item_spacing=”default” masonry_style=”true” bypass_image_cropping=”true” load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
