Catherine Libmann

Bois De Bouleaux

 

Catherine Libmann is a contemporary Tapestry/Weave Artist. when looking for inspiration on my chosen subject I came across her in a book I have 'Tapestry: A Woven Narrative'. Even though I have texture and surface in my drawings/samples I find her work to have an deceiving quality, as even though her work is a flat tapestry weave, it looks textured, like it has a moving surface , as if its ready to 'pop out' of the weave!

I also find her use of colour inspiring, although the colours a dominant in there own right, they mold/blend together well, and the whites/creams lift the weave.
