In the Middle of Propagation – Anne-Elise Angas
‘In the Middle of Propagation’ is a culmination of studies made during the pandemic. Lockdown life has created solitude but the relentless news broadcasts, as well as the worry of the virus constantly mutating and spreading, have also been overwhelming.
This tapestry depicts a young lady communicating through her phone whilst the media, virus and nature propagate around her. Throughout the pandemic, gardens and the countryside have provided an escape for many. I have woven the pink flowers in silk, the most precious of yarns, to represent hope and to symbolize nature returning an equilibrium to everyday life.
