CHRISTINE PAINEreturn to showcase

In my weavings, I try to capture and record transient moments: shadows, movements, touch, marks left or made in the landscape. I inhabit the tide line, walking the beach, watching the sea and observing the rhythms of the natural world. My greatest concerns are the loss of this natural world and our alienation from it.

I sometimes use mud and sticks for drawing, seeking to interpret the gestural and instinctive marks in woven tapestry. Images of prehistoric female figures and birds in flight provide inspiration for starting points.

I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Tapestry Weaving and a Professional Development Diploma in Tapestry and Textile Art from West Dean College.
