“Free as the Waves – Study in Thread” by Kerry Inkster

I have always loved glistening embroidery thread and all of the beautiful colours available. My mother and grandmother were both amazing seamstresses and I seem to recall that I spent my entire childhood growing up listening to the sewing machine as my mother created beautiful garments. During my training as a contemporary artist I studied units of textiles at Uni SA and Curtin University and enjoyed playing with fabric and thread, and I wanted to explore my image through the textile medium. I have used my specialist quilting machine which enables you to free-hand draw with thread. I have applied pop art principles into the artwork with sections of colour to create form. When looking closely at these pieces I am transfixed by the capture of light on the thread, the different colours, and the delicate detail. This piece would look amazing framed and in an intimate setting. The size of the “sewn” artwork is 26.5cm W and 31cm H – leaving a border of paper, mat board and 2cm frame.

This artwork is made of specialist embroidery thread sewn onto paper and backed with muslin. Signed on the front.
