Reflect Forward
New work by textile artist Maxine Sutton
7 – 31 May 2008
Maxine Sutton began her study at the Geffrye Museum in East London where the archives of furniture and home paraphernalia provided plenty of starting points for contemporary reflection. Sutton was inspired by tea drinking rituals, Victorian patchwork and embroidered objects, home manuals and ‘how to’ books, doilies, dainties, whimsies and fancy work. The everyday domesticity of the past is brought into new light with Sutton’s contemporary collection of wall pieces and one off homewares which showcase new combinations of appliqué, hand and machine embroidery and screen printing.
"If you're lucky enough to be in London next week, Maxine Sutton's new show is a must-see. The exhibition is comprised of a series of paper collages, stitched wall pieces and 3D objects - and is being offered as a "fresh twist on traditional techniques""
