ExhibitionsEvent Details
The work of these four artists is inspired by the embroidery of India.Lynda will show drawings inspired by the embroiderers of Kutch, a remote desert area in Gujarat. Her ink drawings are worked on layered surfaces which are embedded with hand-made and found papers. Layering is at the heart of Kantha, a form of embroidered quilt which is particular to Bangledesh, in which old, worn saris are layered and held together with stitch.
Dorothys work is inspired by the traditional processes and folk designs at the heart of Kantha making, which she will use to inform her own drawings and stitched work.
Shelley and Jenny will take the essence of Kantha, particularly the layering of worn cloth held together with stitch, but will interpret this in a contemporary way, incorporating paper, prints and drawings. Work will be shown alongside samples of Indian embroidery, sketchbook pages and drawings.www.farfieldmill.org
