Contemporary Art Tapestry

Old is New…Again

Fiber art has existed for more than a thousand years. It is a fine art created primarily for decorative and aesthetic purposes. Tapestry is one form, woven from animal fibers.

Felt is yet another form altogether and non-woven. It is one of the oldest types of "fabric" known to humankind. Produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers, felt predates weaving and knitting.

Network TapestryTM interleaves the ancient tradition of felting with a large-scale open-weave appearance. Contemporary and abstract art by design, these graceful pieces entice the viewer to focus on bold patterns of light, color and hue together with undulating motion.

Distinct from the iconic, formal tapestry that adorned the churches and castles of yore, Network TapestryTM are uniquely suitable for any residential, public or commercial wall space.

For an ambiance that is both fresh and introspective, consider: What is Old is New Again!
