Tapestry Colour Studies: Elizabeth Blackadder, Still Life with Chequered Box

Dame Elizabeth Blackadder painted in oil and watercolours and worked with printmakers on a variety of printing techniques. The objects featured in her paintings are often those she collected during her many travels in Europe and in the East. The space between objects and their resonance with each other held a great fascination for her.

Dovecot's interpretation of Elizabeth Blackadder’s Still Life with Chequered Box, woven by Emma Jo Webster and Elaine Wilson, continues Dovecot’s collaboration with Blackadder and her work. Dovecot first worked with Blackadder in 1966, to weave Still Life (Tulips).
