Untitled – Llanelli Library commission (stolen!) 76 x 106 cms
2 Comments
Hello. I would like to know more about the theft.
Hi Thomas, after the tapestry was originally hung back in the 1980s, it was stolen from the wall in the library that you see it on in the photo. This was reported to the local press and a short while later the tapestry appeared rolled up on the steps into the library.
I rehung the tapestry higher up in the main entrance room of the library and made sure it was properly secured to the battens it was mounted on.
The tapestry was taken again and as it was secured as I described, the battens were also ripped off the wall, even at height!
Either someone hated it or loved it, I do not know which but that is all the information I can give you.
Have you seen it somewhere by any chance?
Thanks for the comment.
