Description
Carolina Guillermet employs allergen-free synthetic wool for her tapestry artworks, collaborating with skilled local ateliers to ensure precision in execution. Once the yarns are secured, the backing is reinforced with a layer of latex to provide durability, and a rubberised base is added for stability. This robust construction using the tufting technique allows the tapestries to function as versatile objects—they can be displayed on the wall as art pieces or used as rugs, bringing their aesthetic and textural qualities into everyday spaces.
Guillermet transforms the tufting technique, traditionally associated with functional textiles such as carpets, into a medium for artistic expression. By combining intricate designs, complex colour palettes, and deliberate textural contrasts, she elevates this craft-based process to contemporary fine art. The resulting works are visually striking as well as deeply tactile.
