From dye lab experiments to thousands of handwoven threads…

Created with the Master Weavers at West Dean Tapestry Studio in Sussex – each knot on the loom combines nine coloured threads, building a surface that shifts and changes as you move around it.

‘Eva Rothschild’ is now on view in the Pigott Gallery, book your tickets here.

‘The Machine Stops’, Eva Rothschild, 2026 Tapestry in two parts. Filmed and edited by James Blake.
