Alan Davie comes from my home town and I remember as a teenager going to see a retrospective of his work with my father - it is truly breathtaking - in style, in size and in colour! I wish I could get to London to see it!
Hi Mandy,
thanks for the comment re Craigie Horsfield - I wish I could see those tapestries in the flesh... ah well. If you go to the Dovecote Studios website there's a picture of an Alan Davie tapestry in progress - huge and beautiful.
Best, Meabh
Love the complex tapestry-like images here. They're so rich.
dELiZiOsO!
