Chloe Holt is an award winning textile artist who is very interested in landscape, erosion, and surface texture.
This is a devore textile piece by Dionne Swift. I love the way she has traced the landscape with colour and line cutting away the fabric with devore.
I have been working on my Journal and Essay most of this week - the deadline is on Wednesday - and in writing the conclusion (it is on Grayson Perry, Outsider Art and it's influence on contemporary practise) I realised what I had enjoyed about the work of the various artists I discussed. It is the use of mixed media. I like to combine ideas from all different sources and 'mash' them together. This is how I want to move forward with my work. I have enjoyed the printing, working with photographs, painting and stitching and combining them together.
Grayson Perry for instance uses collage in his work and mixed media and is also not afraid to place his work on various surfaces, from tapestries to ceramics.
