In 2023, Graeme Black invited the Stephens Tapestry studio in South Africa to create a hand-woven piece based on the large-scale, close-up paintings of bark that are the focus of his practice. Five experts in weaving helped translate painting to tapestry, using around 300 subtle-dyed shades in plain and melange yarns to evoke each brushstroke and knife scrape in twists and knots.
