Carole Waller handpainted rust silk shawl ‘Container’
A huge lustrous spun rust silk shawl in rust and black, burnt orange, sky blue, pinks, terracotta, small yellow bits and a little white.
The word ‘Container’ implies the way that cloth surrounds and wraps us in colour and meaning. Images, brushmarks and words are multilayered to suggest the complexity and depth of our experiences. There is silence under the noise. Words can be interpreted and read – or hidden in the layers.
This collection of original painted clothes and scarves incorporates snippets of poetry and the texture of clay artworks by Gary Wood. Gary’s book, ‘Container is also available for sale on this site. Click here to find it.

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. My fabrics are like 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. Visitors are welcome 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 S13
