Tapestry Colour Studies: Sekai Machache and Dovecot Studios, Lively Blue 2023

Lively Blue was created specially for Dovecot’s exhibition ‘Scottish Women Artists: 250 Years of Challenging Perception’ in 2023.

Woven by Ben Hymers, the tapestry is based on Sekai Machache's abstract ink drawings that make up a wider exploration of the colour blue, particularly indigo. Indigo has a complex colonial history due to its prominence as a cultivatable plant in the West Indies and American South.

Specification: 

• Ash waxed frame (200mm x 200mm)
• Anti-reflective and UV protected glass (Artglass AR70)
• Dovecot Studios mark of authentication

Every sample sold supports Dovecot and allows us to create artwork for Scotland and sustain the future of tapestry weaving.
