Textile Artwork – Wall by Sarah Bidwell
SARAH BIDWELL
Sarah works primarily in textiles, creating an abstract response to her local environment. Trained as a graphic designer and illustrator in Brighton, Sarah has enjoyed a diverse, creative career as an Art practitioner and educator.
Using an archive of fabric sourced from vintage finds, remnants and dead stock, Sarah’s starting points can be a simple fragment of cloth or a shape or pattern in the landscape. She creates both decorative and functional pieces including wall hangings, embroidered collages and cushions using traditional techniques such as block-printing, patchwork, quilting and embroidery.
Based in Shoreham, Sarah exhibits locally and shows work at Atelier Beside the Sea in Brighton.
