Exciting new project...... "Cornish Storms"

I am so excited to be taking part in a local exhibition in mid December here in Porthleven at the Lifeboat House Gallery. This exhibition is with a collective of artists from all over Cornwall who have been brought together by Mid-Summer-Nights.

This is a brilliant opportunity for me to work to a set brief and really get creative again. For far too long I have felt like I am so busy thinking about product and business that I have lost my creative side, or at least it has been repressed lately!

I am focusing on storms around Porthleven. They are wild and the waves often come up over the pier and across the road.

My statement of intent is:

To capture the power of a storm and its huge crashing waves; the motion, movement and energy in the creation of a piece of textile art.

Juliette Hoffmann

The work of Juliette Hoffmann is just amazing. I love the subtle yet sophisticated colour combinations as well as the stunning textural fabric surfaces that she creates. Each piece is truely exciting and unexpected, whether its through the use of floating yarns, the structures created by the knit pattern or the unsual placement of pleating, her work is just devine!
