Annette Tacconelli Annette Tacconelli is interested in articulating the invisible. She has spent a lifetime as a seer, giving readings to people all around the world since she was 7 years old. The genesis of her work is in the vision. This series of commissioned healing shawls brings those moments of inner vision into colorful form. From her Brooklyn studio, Tacconelli’s shawls are handwoven, hand-dyed and embellished with symbolic embroidery and beadwork. She has completed over 36 healing shawls privately commissioned by a wide range of individuals from a famous movie producer to a New York City construction worker. The purpose of her work is to mix the past, present and future in a visceral way, layering moments of an inner journey. Click here for images.
