New Exhibition Announced at the O3 Gallery, Oxford Castle
Land Lines: Drawn Lines: Stitch Lines
By Textile Artist Amanda Hislop
18th September – 17th October 2010
Textile artist Amanda Hislop will present a series of artwork at the O3 Gallery, Oxford Castle from Saturday 18th September until Sunday 17th October. In this collection, Amanda responds to the timeless themes of land, sea, sky and trees. The images created do not reveal the landscape directly but are a response to what it feels like to be within the landscape; an impressionistic sense of the place, a moment of time, a response to light and colour.
Amanda combines drawn and painted marks with the tactile qualities of thread, paper and fabric. She captures the essence of the landscape, using drawing to record fleeting fragments observed and absorbed. Consideration of linear qualities and the interaction of vertical and horizontal elements in composition, texture and subdued subtle colour reflect Amanda’s training in woven textiles and painting. Intuitive brush marks, stitch, layered paper and fabric evolve and expand into original art work evoking atmosphere and quiet stillness. All items are for sale and prices start from around £100.
