Margo Selby
Margo Selby is a British textile artist making visionary lampas hand-woven artworks. These works are both painterly, in regard to the optical mixing of pure colour – and sculptural, due to the physicality of woven thread as a mode of construction. She established her eponymous textiles company in 2003 and now leads a small team of designers and makers in her Whitstable studio, creating her own range of fabric.
