‘Fables in Yarn’ is a collection of six hand-punched tapestries by Alisa McRonald that weave together the vibrancy of Scottish and Irish fairytales and folklore with the artist’s unique narratives. Each piece reflects a deep engagement with cultural stories while exploring personal intersections, inviting viewers to immerse themselves into a colourful tapestry that tells a story.
Crafted through research, sketching and exploration of storytelling, each tapestry took approximately 20 hours to complete. The artist, Alisa McRonald, utilizes reclaimed yarns, showcasing her commitment to sustainability. She draws inspiration from a love of characters, stories, abstraction, kitsch, queerness, and history, McRonald creates a playful yet profound dialogue between the past and present.
Through vibrant colours and intricate designs, ‘Fables in Yarn’ invites audiences to reflect on the stories that shape our identities and cultural heritage.
