“It’s in the reach of my arms – 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 applied pop art principles to 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. Named after a line in the poem “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou.

This piece would look amazing in an intimate setting and framed. The size of the “sewn” artwork is 29.7cm H and 42cm W – which includes a border of paper. If you love line-making with more unusual yet beautiful media this artwork is for you! It draws you in with all the shimmering thread.
