"Flower Face" Handcrafted Knit/Crochet Multicolored Vase Bouquet Wallhanging
About the Item
Textile Art, Hand-crafted, Crochet Art Blanket, Knitted Tapestry, Wall hanging, Affordable Art.
Multi coloured surreal vase with highly textured flowers including an eye alluding to a face . Luxurious blends of predominantly wool yarns are hand-worked with accents of speciality yarns, mohair and super-synthetics. Knitted and crocheted pieces are individually created connected in an intricate and time-consuming patchwork/ collage process. Each Blanket is a one-off piece, vibrantly coloured, highly tactile and soft to the touch.
It can be displayed as a wall hanging or a throw blanket.
Paris Essex work is hand-crafted by two textile artists, in East London.
Recent works are a series of unashamedly joyful and exuberant woolly pieces. Scaled-up crochet techniques from 1970s craft books have been combined with recognisable 1980s domestic knitting-machine patterns. Rather than rejecting and avoiding outdated and sexist ideas of women’s crafts and home-making from their childhood, they have found themselves paying respect to all forms of domesticity and are playfully nostalgic for feminine stereotypes that they used to avoid. Recent work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, London , Margate, Barcelona, Lithuania and China, Milan and Paris.
Flower Face was exhibited with other pieces part of our show "Fancy" at Hotel Michelle in margate in 2023 as shown in images.
Paris Essex is a partnership between Essex girl, Carolyn Clewer and Parisienne, Tiphaine de Lussy. Creative collaboration between the two knit and textiles specialists began decades ago at the Royal College of Art, London, UK. They work in a space where distinctions between craft, design, fine art and low culture are blurred and of equal worth.

Paris Essex
Paris Essex is a partnership between Essex girl, Carolyn Clewer and Parisienne, Tiphaine de Lussy. Creative collaboration between the two knit and textiles specialists began when they met at the Royal College of Art, London and they have been creating textile art pieces as Paris Essex since 2015. The artists create each piece individually, revisiting the craft and clichés of knitting and crochet, working with combinations of hand and domestic machine techniques. They share a visual language and are drawn to the materials, processes and pace of fashion. They work in a space where distinctions between craft, design, fine art, and low culture are blurred and of equal worth. A Paris Essex "Crazy Blanket" represents a creative dialogue between Clewer and de Lussy; typically beginning by working separately using crochet and knit, then passing pieces back and forth, building one off pieces using luxurious and vibrant blends of wool , mohair and speciality yarns. Pieces are created like collages or paintings, mixing colours and textures with yarns and technical processes. Paris Essex recent work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, London , Margate, Barcelona, Lithuania and China, participated in fashion shows in Milan and Paris, designed for Dutch homeware firm ‘Kitsch Kitchen’ and collaborated with the global fashion software company ‘Unmade’, the British heritage men’s label ‘Wolsey’ and Australian fashion brand ‘Romance Was Born’.
