Tapestry















For those of you who are unfamiliar these images, they were derived from the tapestry which hangs in the Dean’s conference room on the fifth floor. It is approximately 180 inches long and 2 ½ feet wide. The challenge was to capture the essence rather than the entire image.


My first attempt was to shoot section by section, but the result was rather unappealing, so I began looking closer at the image and realized each section was a miniature “story”. I decided to select unusual images as well as images which had movement, beauty and exquisite needlework. These are my results. Hope it entices you to take a closer look at the craftsmanship and detail that surrounds this piece.
