Tapestry is one of the world's oldest art forms; in the Renaissance, it represented art considered as fine as painting. As a professional artist, Jeanne Walker creates pictures in this tradition of the past.
She weaves, exhibits and sells a specialized version of handwoven pictures known as Transparent Tapestry. When displayed in windows or back lighted, see-through areas contrast with opaque segments of the pictures and give them a unique mystical quality. She often frames them between two pieces of UV-protected plexiglass or in free standing room dividers. Created on large tapestry looms, the pictures are one of a kind. Despite the fuzzy nature of fiber, she weaves portraits that reveal the demeanor of a subject: a haughty lift of the head, a compressed mouth, a wrinkle-weary forehead, the coy turn of an ankle. Because no threads clutter the back, pictures are equally smooth seen from both sides.
Transparent Tapestry: Ancient Art, Modern Method weaves together threads of the history of tapestry weaving, strings of instruction about technique, and yarns about the fine art of handwoven pictures.
