Colouring with stitch

'Blue Arc' 1/10 Limited edition print and stitch. Available soon!

I have a series of different sewing machines set up with different threads so I can quickly shift from one to another - just like picking up a different paint brush or pencil.  I'm very lucky to have the space & machines...

I'm currently focussed on translating sketchbook explorations into Textile pieces: drawings are from lost corners and spaces where we can lose ourselves in thought: maybe it's daydreaming, but it feels heavier than that.

The new studio is really coming together: I'll share when I'm ready! At the moment creating new work is the priority - I think I'm making up for some sort of lost time, whizzing away to get ready for a collection of exhibitions.  I hope you can get to see my work in the flesh, but you can now also purchase online as I'm pleased to have been accepted to www.madebyhandonline.com

1st - 4th Nov Affordable Art Fair, Hampstead - I shall be given a series of PV and free daytime tickets - please get in touch with a postal address and your time preference.

Sketch book page which has inspired 'Blue Arc' as seen above.   I started creating this book at Art in Action eariler in the summer.  I drew the intriguing framework and shadows of the marquee...this is my translation...

 

My sewing machine & studio beacon - I've got work to do...so I hope you've enjoyed my quick catch up newsletter. Please get in touch with your thoughts, questions and queries.  I love to hear form you!

Stay up to date by giving me a 'thumbs up' on Facebook - nearly 1000 followers now - amazing, thankyou all so much.
