Every building, whether large or small, has inherited problems for the tapestry artist.
These may be poor or restricting lighting, or wall color that is not sympathetic to a tapestry hung against it, but which the client is reluctant to change. It may be difficult to see a tapestry clearly because the view is impeded by columns or some other architectural feature. Sometimes it can be difficult to make even a very large tapestry to stand out and “read” well on an enormous wall area.
It is one of the tapestry-artist’s responsibilities to take into account these factors and produce a tapestry that will enhance the space for which it is designed and not be diminished by the shortcomings of a setting.
