In creating Tapestry, Barnaby Furnas captures the vibrant fluidity characteristic of his oil and watercolour paintings. His complex layered and gestural painting style is uncannily replicated in the premeditation of graphic design. Utilising the historical craft of weaving, Furnas places his rock concert on a par with historical depictions of epic battles and heroic royalty. Violence, chaos and pagan hype become immortalised as decorative patterns. Razor sharp light beams, tie-dyed psychedelia and clamouring mosh-pit lose their threatening edge, traded instead for a more monumental documentation, distanced and glorified through the time-honoured tactility of hand-crafted fabric.
