The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
This piece was done to commemorate the blockbuster Klimt
exhibition that was staged by Tate Liverpool in 2008. As with
many of Fleur’s pieces, she had used her experience as a stitcher to
incorporate 3-D elements, in this case roses made from machine-
embroidered ribbons, and stems made from wrapped wire.
This Superlambanana, complete with velvet dress and tiara, was
Fleur’s idea to show an elegant Lamb. I don’t think any artist
actually tried to portray this one, as I think the practicalities of the
velvet dress may have been a little beyond them…. but on this scale
it is wholly practical.
