Watch Us Bounce: textile artwork 80cm by 80cm
Always moving.
Always sharing.
‘Watch Us Bounce’ captures a fleeting moment through the slow, mindful process of stitching together lots of little pieces of fabric.
The artwork features traditional quiltmaking techniques like piecework and quilting, applied in a contemporary way to create a truly unique artwork. Layers of paint add an element of fun and surprise to the bold artwork.
This might just be the perfect piece to make a bold statement in your home! Why choose boring when you can go with ‘fun’? I dare you!
Size: 83cm by 83cm (framed)
Materials: fabric dye, fabric paint, cotton and linen fabrics
Techniques: hand-dyed, hand-painted, hand- and machine-piecework, quilting
Finish: the completed textile piece is stretched over a timber frame and finished with a close-fitting floating Australian oak frame (no glass). A sturdy cord has been fitted to the back of the artwork, for easy hanging from a single hook or a gallery hanging system.
Artwork care: Keep the artwork dry. Dust can be removed using a lint roller.
Watching children enjoy and discover the world in which we live is such a source of joy and inspiration. The unabandoned joy of little children discovering and enjoying the wonderful world in which we live is one of life’s true pleasures. The language of posture and facial expression of little ones sitting, standing, moving and interacting with their environment is universal, and knows no racial, language or circumstantial boundaries.
See how a child delights in a ladybug about to take flight, or the silvery trail of a snail, or the splashes of a fresh puddle!
Is your decor feeling a bit ho-hum?
The simplest way to revamp a room is to add a vibrant new artwork! Add a couple of throw cushions to bring out a fun colour from the artwork. Delight your guests with an element of fun and surprise in your art collection.
Express yourself through the art you hang.
Share your joy in the wonder of childhood through your art collection. As we move to a post-lockdown world, these artworks are a reminder to treasure the simple things in life.
In this collection of artworks, I wanted to push myself in a few ways. Working hard on a large body of work gives me the opportunity to work through and try out a range of ideas. I wanted to try some more abstract ideas, even if just in a small way. That is where the fabric paint came in. Seeing the unexpected results of print and paint combined with piecework was a joy every time again.
I had originally intended that this body of work would combine botanical and childhood themes, but the children spoke loud and clear, and didn’t want to share the stage. Once I accepted that, I had so much fun with these. I hope that shows through.
These artworks are bold, jubilant celebrations of that joy. I can’t wait to see them brighten up homes everywhere - and who doesn’t look forward to an injection of joy and hope right now?
Always moving.
Always sharing.
