Woven From The Field – Sue Kirk & Rosalind Stoddart

Willow Weaver Sue Kirk and textile artist Rosalind Stoddart both use materials grown and harvested from their land to create organic pieces that have simple clarity of aesthetic beauty.This exhibition aims to highlight the deep connection both artists share with their environment.  Invaluable relationships formed over years of working repetitively with nature, cyclically planting, harvesting, caring for land and the domestic and wild animals which share their space.  They wish their lives and work to be harmonious, collaborative, and beneficial to their land, improving biodiversity.  Their work reflects this.The softness of alpaca fibre within Rosalind’s work complements the earthy colours and textures of Sue’s willow to create a visually strong exhibition.  The work transforms age-old heritage techniques such as weaving, natural dyeing, felting, stitching and yarn weaving into a bold, contemporary style exhibition which is visually exciting and will inspire the viewer through the unique ways in which different processes have been used.Open Day and Private View: Tuesday 31 October 11.00am – 8.00pm
