New tapestries from Hannah Waldron, who's taking textile design in hand
“I wish I knew how to weave,” I found myself sighing longingly while clicking through Hannah Waldron’s portfolio. The UK-based multi-disciplinary artist and designer has transitioned seamlessly from grid-based image-making to create works in textile form since completing an MFA in Textiles at Konstfack, Sweden, and it looks like she’s well at home in the medium. Map Tapestries is a series of woven works inspired by various city scenes – Kreuzberg, NYC and Venice, for example – in bright colours, evocative shapes and simple geometric forms, and it’s wonderful.
Hannah has also just redesigned her website to house all of her new work, and it’s a delight for the eyes, though it might not be so kind on your wallet. Consider yourself warned.
