Henri Jacobs' tapestry Quatre Champs Midi (Four Fields Afternoon) is based on a watercolour. The pattern of dots progresses from right to left, first small in four regular rows, the dots become larger towards the left in rows that run upwards and increasingly intersect. Your eye moves back and forth from the intense rhythm of the overlapping circles on the left to the calmness of the small regular dots on the right.
The tapestry can also be turned a 90 degrees, making the movement from bottom to top more dominant, like bubbles of air rising to the surface in a liquid.
The tapestry was produced at Flandes Tapestries in Wielsbeke, Belgium. First, the watercolour is scanned and translated into information that operates the weaving machine. It is made with the jaquard weaving technique that allows you to weave with up to 9 colours.
