British tapestry artist Jilly Edwards weaves abstract canvases that are a celebration of colour and tone. Her abstracted elements are influenced by the landscape, not literally but purely in the colour, texture, marks and memories.
What do I weave?
An instant response could be, that I weave ‘woolly pictures’, but its more to me, its incredibly personal. I don’t weave ginormous battle scenes or political or current statements. I weave about time and space.
I want to share a moment with my viewers, giving them time to reflect on the world around them, as I do. — Jilly Edwards
