About the Maker: Caroline Tully writes, ‘I was immediately struck by the decorative nature of this tapestry design which evokes both William Morris’ 19th century Arts & Crafts Movement and tapestry homages to older Medieval tapestry design, and Medieval tapestry itself. The colours of the design also recalls the use of natural dyes in Medieval tapestry and how they fade over time so that many Medieval tapestries look very blue. Also, I really liked the Australiana subject, with environmentalist overtones regarding feral plant and animal species’.
