Artist of the week: Line Dufour
Tapestry weaving remains the foundation of all my artistic explorations because one can do things that cannot be done in painting. Though many of my tapestries continue to adhere to the traditional methods of tapestry weaving, I use it as a platform to push tapestry beyond prescribed boundaries and play with how the tapestry's image plane occupies space in various ways.
