A limited edition, woven textile piece based on artist Laura Aquilina's original artwork The Black Hills of Dakota. This beautiful textile can be used functionally as a blanket or throw, or displayed as a wall hanging.
Laura Aquilina is a visual artist, mostly drawing and painting landscapes. Aquilina draws inspiration from images and scenes found in her favourite books, TV shows and films. Her artwork often features references to songs that she can sing and sign using Makaton.
’I make art because it makes me feel proud to be able to show what is in my head. I feel proud when I see my hard work come together.’’
Aquilina is a member of Blue Room, the Bluecoat’s inclusive arts programme in Liverpool and is part of Studio Me, Blue Room’s artist development project.
