White Rose
Linen, Japanese paper yarns, Merino wool
Unique work
220 x 170 cm

White Rose tapestry was designed especially for the reading room at The National Gallery of Iceland in Reykjavik. The building was made in 1906 - 1908 to house the National Library and National Archives of Iceland and was opened to the public in 1909. This contemporary tapestry is made with a high tech digital loom. An interpretation of antique textiles and the symbolic value of flowers, earth and sky during the middle ages. A delicate merge of traditional natural fibers from all over the
world.
