Carole Waller handpainted pale gold silk shawl ‘Container’

A long lustrous spun silk painted in pale gold, cornflower blue, pink , mid grey and cream.

The word ‘Container’ implies the way that cloth surrounds and wraps us in evocative colour. The square image is a small frame used to press into clay in the making of clay artworks by Gary Wood. Snippets from his poems, images and colours are multilayered to suggest the complexity and depth of our experiences. ‘Fill your house with delight’

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 S16
