Shakespearean Wall Hanging

A Shakespearean inspired wall hanging taken from one of his most famous tragedies, Hamlet. I wanted to create a piece which showed some of the main themes that run throughout his plays. The masks, the death and, most importantly in Hamlet; the death of Polonius. This has been painted onto fabric, then sown together by an embroidered border of flowers that represent those that floated next to Ophelia as she drowned.
