Fragments Of A Landscape
Askham
Based on the ideas of how we remember familiar places. We know them too well to be summed up in a single photo. These are layers of glimpses, experiences and time spent on location. They combine old work, oil sketches, fabric samples, paint, and of course stitch, stitch and more stitch!
Into The Blue
The Garden Series
A whole new approach and theme based on the happy chaos that is my summer flower garden . Mostly self seeded annuals and short lived perenials there are layers of shapes, forms and colour. Initially worked on a deep velvet to give depth and richness with lines and splashes of vibrant colour, they now also play with other surfaces and paint .
Silver Birch - Wheldrake Woods. The sharp clarity of the young foliage clashes with the dark bank of trees behind. The tree is densely worked to contrast with the flatter layers of fabric that create the background. The foreground of rough grass and track has been ripped and torn as well as stitched.
I only have 2 digital prints on cotton fabric left - great for bags etc, or do your own stitch work over it! 14"w x 13"h £15
In the Making - I use a mix of textile techniques- freehand machining, applique, couching, staining, and hand work. Base fabrics are often heavy cotton calico for larger pieces or linen for smaller ones. Scraps and pieces of all sorts of fabrics from sheers to velvet are used to give weight, colour and texture. Some are worked over oil paintings, others are built up in layers and layers.
