Margo Selby is an artist working with colour and geometric form. Her handwoven artworks are made on dobby looms, and commissioned, exhibited and collected worldwide.

Margo’s works are painterly, regarding the optical mixing of pure colour – and sculptural, in that they are constructed. The colour becomes integral to the piece, as the threads are assembled in layers; colour and structure unite. 

Margo takes inspiration from visual culture: typography; hand-crafted textiles; and architecture – and connects to the modernist tradition of constructivist art.
