Photography and Textile Art: Tapestry in the form of a Triptych

The author describes how she combines photography and weaving to create tapestry in the form of a triptych. The triptych allows her to explore images from different points of view. After selecting a set of photographs—usually fragments of nature—she seeks the most appropriate way to ‘translate’ the imagery into the language of tapestry. By introducing a second warp, she is able to transpose the sense of depth in the photographs to the tapestry.
