Helen Webber Handwoven Lion Tapestry, Signed 9/50

Helen Webber / United States

Helen Webber handwoven lion tapestry employs layered textile construction with appliqué technique. By cutting and layering various textiles with different weaving patterns and weights, Webber created dimensional effects that transformed flat fabric into sculptural relief. Construction reflects fiber art movement of 1960s-70s when textile artists elevated craft techniques to fine art status through emphasis on material properties and abstract representation. Wear is consistent with age and use. Signed and edition 9/50. See more wall tapestries, search (AD01).
