Tablecloth Tapestry

Performance art dinner tablecloth painting

Tablecloth, Emily Hughes, Bed Sheets, Curtains, Acrylic Paint, Oil Paint 210cm x 750cm, 2025

This project was created for use during a contemporary art performance dinner, where attendees eat and perform over paintings of their own resting bodies. The figures lay scattered holding fruit, while real fruit is also dispersed all over the table. The tapestry blends transparent paint with used patterned fabric, playing with texture and surface. Artists eat their meal and perform over paintings of themselves. The painting becomes a sort of furniture, taking on a new role through performance and unconventional display.
