This is only part of an “industrial" hessian or burlap wall hanging. You want the fabric to look recycled and as if it has achieved a purpose in its working life. Sacks were used a lot for carrying coal, potatoes and wheat, even meat in the not so long ago days. I’m experimenting with finding depth to portray images in order to honour the work of hessian. I find hessian an exacting medium. So many elements are involved with creating depth, labour and purpose. Even when you think you’ve achieved that then there is the art of balance and presentation. So many wall hangings, especially handwoven ones, can tend to twist or fail to hang straight against a wall unless there is a weighting mechanism. It is extremely difficult to achieve a satisfactory presentation.
