Anne Sutton

I chose to look at Sutton’s work as I felt that she focuses more on creating larger, more architectural structures with her textiles. Whilst I found the detail of designers like Lubaina Hamid really impressive, I wanted to take the opportunity to focus more on the shape and form of the piece as a whole on my final day in textiles.

I also found that some of her mark making in her pieces is really similar to the kinds of simplistic lines we had created on the first day. This was exciting to see in Sutton’s work as it goes to show that what we had been working on could easily be scaled up into bigger structures. For example, Sutton weaved up a larger structure with a roof and 2 walls that can be seen in her retrospective. However, if you were to take a smaller segment, you would find quite a simple repetition made by weaving. I could look at creating a similar technique in my own work. I find Sutton’s use of repetition really eye-catching as I find it helps to make her pieces really clean and modern.
