Exhibition: Unit Twelve

This weekend I was able to visit the new exhibition at Unit Twelve. At the moment the exhibition is showing a range of local artists that have been chosen to showcase their work. Artist, Dionne Swift's work was the first that caught my eye. She is exhibiting two large silk screens, mono-printed onto calico and finished with machine stitch. I chose to look at these pieces as I am still taking part in my textiles world of embroidery. I love the way that the artist has used stitching in order to create a surface filled with texture and movement, as well as an equally beautiful colour palette.
