Artist of the week: Pascale Dominique Barrett

As a new tapestry weaver my interest lies mainly with colour and form, my work is about exploring texture in yarn and discovering which one I will latch onto and develop to its full potential. My exciting journey is just beginning: a self-taught tapestry artist I started quite late, at 65 years old. May 2022 is when I completed my first small tapestry Westbury White Horse. My focus till then was very diverse from painting, sculpture, photography to sewing and needlepoint, every day without fail I work on one project or other.
