In Our Nature: the Tapestries of Helena Hernmarck September 12, 2012

'In Our Nature: Tapestries of Helena Hernmarck' is an assemblage of more than a dozen textiles by our era's legendary trompe-l'oeil weaver, Helena Hernmarck. Monumental works immerse the viewer in the best of nature: lush blooms, rich green forest scenes, and sunny poppy pastures. Hernmarck's work represents a lifetime of closely honed weaving technique, which combines intensely sensitive attention to color with one-of-a-kind combinations of textures, creating layered, shaded effects. These tapestries will be on loan from three major arts museums, several corporate and individual collectors, and from Helena's own collection. Also part of the exhibit will be twenty 'Nordic Forest' themed tapestries created by "Team Hernmarck," a group of advanced weaving students of Hernmarck from Sweden and the U.S.
