Unique Mixed Media work comprising folded and hand sewn lino block printed by the artist. Framed Size: 45x170x6.5cm (white frame with Perspex).
Questioning and exploring the notion of feminine imagery this work’s focus is on the contents and patterns of the evolving tableaux in which I live. Here my shadow is passing through, as though floating on a lace curtain. My work acknowledges the lineage of women artists whose domestic space was also their studio. Merging the boundaries between the mediums of drawing, printmaking, and needlework by exploring the interplay of opposites; interior and exterior, light, and dark, positive, and negative, I hope to provide a new lens through which to experience the familiar. ~ Christine Druitt-Preston 2022
