Landscape Tapestries Series ‘B’ created by Zoё Gibson, RSUA Silver Award Winner 2022.
Seven Landscape Tapestries make up this textile series combining a series of hand-embroidery stitches of multiple colours, representing the vast Irish Landscape.
These contemporary, embroidered landscapes from Ireland are completed using the finest quality cotton threads, on dense, woollen felt hand finished with glass beads and heavy stitches to give depth to the embroidery piece.
Originating from the artist’s Master’s in Architecture exploring the Rathlin Island on the North Coast of Ireland, the colours and delicate stitches represent natural textures from the ground, flora and fauna unique to our archipelago, and an exploration into the ecology of the landscape through textile art.
Tapestry dimensions – 80mm x 50mm
Mount Board and Frame – 250mm x 250mm square
Each embroidery is set on mountboard, with a small inscription in the artist’s hand of the art’s title and framed in a simple white frame,
Items will be delivered gift-wrapped using recycled and recyclable paper, First Class with Royal Mail.
About the Artist
Zoё Victoria Gibson, based in Bangor, recently graduated with her Master’s in Architecture from the Belfast School of Architecture, and is currently pursuing her PhD in Architecture at Ulster University’s Doctoral College.
Zoё’s thesis: Rathlin Island; A Landscape Repository. How do we archive the landscape?, won the RSUA Silver Medal 2022, for her representation of the archipelago, through hand drawings and textile illustrations of the landscape. Zoё has pursued her passion for textiles alongside her studies, creating landscape embroideries, representing the Irish Landscape, and the secrets that it holds.
Ideas for the Landscape Tapestries began with her Fellowship Experience at the 59th Venice Arts Biennale in November 2022, as a project had to be created to represent her time working for the British Pavilion and the British Council. Zoё drew 80 of the 118 Venetian Archipelagos, to discover the cities campos, landscapes, architecture and textures of the materials that are repeated around Venice.
Being able to apply this landscape-knowledge to her studies, has been a liberating and experimental experience to explore and respect our Island of Ireland.
