Float

Handwoven tapestry designed and created by Lunenburg based textile artist, Mary Anne Donovan. Float was the title piece in a series of handwoven stories that paints the shifting beauty of Atlantic Canada in wool and natural fibres, layering waves over land by hand as weft over warp layers a tapestry design. Textile art is a balance of strength and fragility. FLOAT celebrates the resilience of east coast communities and the beauty found in a landscape forever shaped by wind, water and time. 

Materials: cotton warp with weft of locally produced and hand dyed silk, linen, mohair, merino, alpaca, blue faced Leicester slubby mix, wool roving and more, mounted on a locally crafted maple tapestry holder.

Dimensions: 27” H x 52” W x 1.5” D
