She uses traditional Gobelin weaving techniques to create her contemporary works, which combine geometric forms, floral morifs and an intense palette in ‘jigsaw’ compositions.
“It is the combination of interrupted images which is the primary influence in my tapestry work. To me they are ‘captured windows’. Each tapestry aims to tell us that we rarely see things as a whole, but the intrusions of one image by another can tease and surprise, as well as creating something quite joyous to behold.” Jennie Moncur, Weaving New Worlds
