Margo Selby is a British textile artist and designer of woven textiles working with colour and geometric form. She studied at Chelsea College and the RCA, graduating in 2001.

Margo has established an expansive approach to working in textiles – across art, design and industry. Margo’s practice as a weaver is at the heart of all of the studio projects. Throughout her work, Margo explores the relationship between man and machine, hand and industry, craft and technology.

“Encountering this work both visually and audibly in such a magnificent and spiritual setting is truly humbling—the sensory impact is overwhelmingly uplifting. Canterbury Cathedral’s community has embraced the exhibition with remarkable warmth, connecting it beautifully to their own themes of hope and inclusivity. This exhibition stands as a pinnacle moment in my journey as both artist and weaver.”
