This work “Exploring Colour through the artwork of Peter Doig” is the collection of hand-woven textiles that shows the beauty of color palette and unique patterns. It explores the dramatic colour, dreamy landscape and texture of the painting ‘Gasthof zur Muldentalsperre’ (2000-02). The different effect of colour contrast and texture of woven fabric forms a surface of feeling, derived from the paint and brushstrokes.

 

As a key component of my work, naturally hand dyed silk creates the colour palette as bright and vibrant tones with a delicateness. In addition to be a sustainable process, I am fascinated by the beautiful range and quality of colour which natural materials can produce.

 

In terms of turning the painting into the woven textiles, I capture the beauty of Doig’s painting through my own exploration of various weave techniques on the loom. Geometric and organic shaped pattens are now at the heart of my work.
