Strode Theatre
  


Two tapestries -  "Earth and Air, Art and Nature".  Funded by 
The National Lottery as part of a £1.2m extension. 1999
Woven Tapestries each 1400 x 2000mm

The tapestries are hung in the theatre at ground and 1st floor level and can be seen together from outside the building. This was my starting point and I developed designs that would work well as a pair, reflect the use of the building and would be especially seen at night when the theatre is lit. In each piece the 2 figures animate the foreground over a stylised stage set.  Each design explores the Shakespearean theme of Art and Nature, Earth and Air.
