Carole Waller handpainted blue silk munha shawl ‘Subtext’

A wide silk munha shawl with tassles. It is painted and screenprinted with colours of blue on the edge of cobalt, light blue, dark green, peach, caramel, cream, white and light orange .

The munha silk is woven for me in India and has a lovely drape with a twill weave.

The scarf is inspired by snippets from  poems, images and colours are multilayered with the texts sometimes readbale and sometimes not. Text is met by texture photographed from Gary Wood ceramic wallpieces and blocks of soft colours.

‘Somewhere silence lives under the noise’

Carole Waller art to wear:

Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. I handpaint and screenprint each piece at my studio just outside Bath. I use my fabrics as unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work, so no two pieces are the same.

I also make bespoke commissions. Although I cannot colour match,  I can promise you a unique artwork. I welcome visitors anytime, by appointment.

Waller and Wood is our gallery name from the time we had a retail space in Bath between 2015 and 2020. My studio and small showroom is now at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome.

The code for this piece is S10
