Dionne Swift - New Grounds
Within this exciting body of new work, Dionne Swift offers a tactile response to the way we are; exploring a personal realisation that we all have a different point of view.
Delicate cloth and stitch are complemented by traditional print making processes. Pleats, cuts, folds and slashes create distortions of image and protective layers of felt shelter the viewer from sharp fabric edges. This work celebrates the qualities that make us unique.
