DescriptionDescription: The motif is made of tangled linen yarn, and as the title indicates, Ulla Schumacher-Percy was inspired by the Spanish architect Gaudí’s chimneys and spires. Schumacher-Percy worked with monumental embroideries, long-pile rugs and pictorial weaves where she looked for contrasts between hand-woven linen yarns, wool yarn, silk and sisal.
