Centenary tapestry

Valerie Kirk, pictured above is a tapestry weaver and lecturer and has undertaken many commissions in her time at the Australia National University. The Centenary tapestry is a community project and we were given a private viewing. Here it is still on the frame.

Many Canberra landmarks have been woven and stitched into the scene.

People came from far and wide to add their effort to the work.

Their names will be tagged in the back of the work, which has the wonderful texture of all the thread ends.
