Medium: hand-woven tapestry

Elizabeth J. Buckley’s approach to the art of hand woven tapestry involves working in multiple layers and dimensions to create visual poems of blended colors and light. She designs and weaves her large and small format tapestries with weft bundle blends of crewel weight wools, perlé cotton, and silk into imagery that often incorporates illusions of transparency, three-dimensional forms, and tromp l’oeil effects. She utilizes many techniques found in French Gothic and Renaissance tapestries, mindfully creating contemporary heirlooms for generations to come.

Elizabeth Buckley draws inspiration from her observations of the natural world, what is both seen and invisible. Her work articulates the textures of earth memory and the undercurrent of time in terms of millennia; time of the forces which molded earth’s canyons and mesas, oceans and mountains; time filled with the spirits of those who have come before.
