Artists statement
I am interested in the history and practice of weaving and textile production and the growing of cotton in different areas of the world, especially as it relates to my Lancashire, UK heritage. The cotton painting drop cloth has been dyed with Australian native plants and the warp threads exposed by removing the weft showing the simple robust structure of this fabric characteristic of the interlacing of warp and weft in plain weave. This work can be hung or can stand on a plinth or table.
Physical description
A textile work that features a piece of cotton drop cloth that has has sections of the warp threads removed and other sections plant dyed brown to create a radial effect.
