Working at the intersection of art, craft and design, she creates striking handwoven works defined by their precise geometric structures and sophisticated use of colour. Alongside her artistic practice, Margo leads Margo Selby Studio, designing woven textiles for interiors, fashion and industry, with applications ranging from upholstery and rugs to scarves and soft furnishings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1135\" data-start=\"540\"\u003eColour lies at the heart of Margo's practice. Her work explores the complex relationships between coloured threads, woven structures and optical perception, drawing inspiration from architecture, graphic design and typography. While her approach is highly experimental, it is underpinned by the technical precision of weaving, a discipline she continues to champion through both handcraft and industrial production. In 2021 she was awarded the prestigious Turner Medal by the Colour Group (Great Britain), recognising her outstanding contribution to the understanding and creative use of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1158\" data-start=\"1137\" data-section-id=\"1vwg2ss\"\u003eEvent Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1654\" data-start=\"1201\"\u003eJoin acclaimed textile artist Margo Selby for an exclusive introduction to \u003cem data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"1276\"\u003eMoon Landing\u003c\/em\u003e, her monumental woven artwork exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery as part of \u003cem\u003eThe Sun and the Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1654\" data-start=\"1201\"\u003eBeginning in front of the installation itself, Margo will discuss the creative process behind the commission, revealing how colour, structure and weaving techniques combine to create the work, and how she responded to an original musical composition by composer Helen Caddick during its development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2087\" data-start=\"1656\"\u003eThe talk will also explore Margo's long-standing philosophy of \u003cem data-end=\"1738\" data-start=\"1719\"\u003eArt Into Industry\u003c\/em\u003e, demonstrating how ideas developed through large-scale handwoven artworks are translated into commercially produced textiles.
