My style is mainly pictorial.
I like to use paint and stitch to make work which tells a story, or allows the viewer to use their imagination to decide what is happening. I usually work in a series, maybe quite small, but will sometimes return to the theme at a later date. Some of my work makes a point about the world we live in; other times I aim to be amusing. My inspiration can come from my travels, words, emotions at difficult times – almost anything. Ideas usually come when I am either walking my dog, or swimming, and may or may not lead to a series of work. I am interested in various types of printing and collaging and will often incorporate these into my textile work. I am also making an effort to consider the planet and will recycle fabric where possible and have recently been incorporating used tea bags, often printed, into my pieces. Website: stephaniecrawford |
