DescriptionPrior studied BA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts. He reveals the tapestry creation process by presenting the reverse rather than the front, so that human marks, errors and idiosyncrasies are visible. The photograph invites two modes of looking: up close, where the viewer can inspect the surface texture, and from afar, where the viewer attempts to resolve the pictorial features of the image.
