Tapestry - Blog Posts
The tapestries made by the Aubusson manufacture based on the art of JRR Tolkien are currently exhibited at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris until May. @actual-bill-potts and I went there yesterday, they're so beautiful!!
These are all handmade tapestries, each is based on a Tolkien artwork (the Rivendell one has the facsimile on the right for scale).
Under the cut: group ID and bonus details
ID: 7 photos of the tapestries, which are each about 3m high, located in a 13th century monastery. The first is the map of middle earth, the others are illustrations Tolkien made of his books. The bonus photos below are details of the tapestries.

Not my best work but figured I'd share the works of my favorite Nightwing characters.
Orange County Bedroom
Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless master carpeted bedroom remodel with beige walls
golden threads like spools of glazed time, rippling over skin reflected upon or emboldened in time? slivers of voices trapped in the warm rays touching and painting your hair, wisps of unwound paths waiting to be caught. so many red strings, fluttering like our erratic beating, yet I'm left weaving tapestries from bare scraps of discarded lint. furious stitching, from the timed ripples dying, words of a melody barely coaxed by red and blemished fingers. the same golden threads, now remain unspooled, what a mess, caged like a broken Wallace. soft goodbyes left unsaid, braids woven for ultimate indifference. what knot did we miss for the tapestry to burn and not shine? the yellow so dull like jaundiced eyes but the red so stark like first drawn blood.

National Parks Vol. 1
Seattle-based photographer Navid Baraty went on a solo 7,200-mile road trip to various national parks around the western United States. Navid captured the journey along the way from steaming geyser basins to rugged badlands, from otherworldly deserts to petrified forests, from thunderous canyons to slot canyons, from sheer cliffs to top-secret military installations.

Burial in a vessel
In the pre-Hispanic era,it was customary to bury the deceased on the floors of the family's homes. Some of the mortuary remains, generally from secondary burials, were found in vessels.
Strings of lights and
Yellow tapestries
Brighten up my room
In an attempt to hide
The darkened mess
That lurks in the corners
Andreas Eriksson
Hovering between abstraction and figuration, Andreas Eriksson’s meditative works can be interpreted as patchwork topographies or details of organic forms such as trees, earth and rock formations.
Eriksson’s artistic practice encompasses a wide range of media including painting, photography, sculpture, tapestry and installation. Rendered in earthy and botanical hues, his works are understated yet possess a poetic quality which has a lasting effect on the viewer. The emotional intensity of Eriksson’s work is the result of a sustained exploration of his response to the natural world.
Weissensee No. 12, 2018-2019
Linen
94 1/2 × 55 1/2 in | 240 × 141 cm
‘Weissensee No. 12’ is part of a recent series of large-scale handwoven tapestries by Andreas Eriksson. Rendered in subtle hues of undyed yarn, this body of work offers a unique window onto the artist's rural surroundings in Medelplana, Sweden. Eriksson sources the tapestries' linen from multiple sites in Sweden, linking each piece to a specific geographical location. Hovering between abstraction and figuration, this meditative work can be interpreted as a patchwork topography or a detail of an organic form. Tassels and loose threads hang freely from the surface, conjuring up associations with cascading waterfalls, patches of lichen and trees rustling in the wind. Variations in tone and structure between different types of yarn create striking modulations of light and depth, lending the work a painterly quality.
This new body of textiles expands the artist's formal language and demonstrates how he translates his paintings into tapestries
"It is impossible to trace any topography, scenery or perspective in Eriksson’s [works]. They have a strong hallucinatory power in that their lack of north- or southward orientation produces a disjunction, making it hard to understand where the sky and the ground lie."
– Filipa Ramos
