Wedding Knot
Wedding Knot, 2000
Wool and cotton, 30 x 30 cm

This small tapestry, Wedding Knot, was commissioned as a wedding gift for "S" & "P". My client was a Medieval Art historian who wanted the tapestry imagery to relate to a medieval wedding ceremony. Contemporary imagery in illuminated manuscripts and tapestries frequently show the initials of the bride and groom's families intertwining a knot symbolizing the union of the two households. The background imagery is inspired by the aesthetics of illuminated manuscripts.
