Large Commissions
Helen Frances Gregor’s large commissions are monumental works that showcase her mastery of textile art, often featuring intricate patterns and bold color schemes. These pieces, created for public spaces and institutions, reflect her ability to transform walls into vibrant, textured landscapes that engage viewers on a grand scale.
It became clear as the decades progressed that her textiles fitted well with contemporary architecture. They gave warmth and colour to modern high-rise office buildings and concert halls and to the brick chimneys and interiors of contemporary houses.
“There was an obvious need for a type of art that would humanise the vast spaces of modern architecture, and I became interested in how well-suited tapestry was to this field.”
