“Time and Place”, will include a range of wall pieces, framed art, suspended panels, and free standing items incorporating new and reclaimed textiles – linens, doilies, laces, napkins, remnants and scraps, giving these textiles a new purpose.
Drawing from natural landscapes, weathered textures and memories of childhood, the works by Margaret will explore the connections between land and memory through the use of a range of techniques such as embroidery, layering, eco dyeing, rusting, weathering, painting and waxing. Viewers are invited to pause and reflect on the images and memories that shape their everyday lives.
Margaret describes herself as a textile artist living in the Hutt Valley. Her works draw from domestic life, personal narrative and the local landscapes. She stitches small pieces which evoke a quiet response, using a range of surface techniques and adding hand and machine stitching to create pieces which are both contemporary and reflective of their past.
