This is Salt Spring artist Jane Kidd’s latest tapestry measuring approximately four feet wide by six or so feet tall. The image above is a horizontal portion of the tapestry representing about one-third of the piece (so you can see some of the details).
You may have heard that Jane recently won the prestigious Saidye Bronfman award as an exceptional craftsperson and fine crafts artist. Read more about this $25 000 award here.

It is brilliant! What a stunning piece of work. Thanks, John, for showing us!
Quite a skill to envision, draw/plan and weave. The backside, while not to be admired like the front, shows how intensive the process is. Yet another Salt Spring talent!
What a gorgeous piece. It is so refreshing and beautiful.
Agreed. And seeing it full size in person, better yet.
