Keywords
Blackadder is strongly influenced by Japanese aesthetics. Characteristically, she carefully arranges objects in a shallow pictorial space to create intriguing and subtly decorative images.
The translation into tapestry echoes the colours, quality and feel of the artist's original design, in this case a playful scattering of objects against a textured background.
