Art I like - Sarah Cawkwell

Sarah Cawkwell's work often represents textiles -

Cutting the Thread, 1993

Drapery 2006 (relief sculpture)

Squares for Refugees 2010-11

Loose Weave 2011

Sometimes she stitches buttons (or wool or textile) onto or into the paper -

Gravity 2007

Her work is about the repetitive minutiae of life and the female condition and all its contradictions.

Drawn threads

Something so insubstantial, even invisible - how often do we notice the shadow of a thread?

I'm drawn to fabric, threads, stitches as a source of ... drawings! ... and am aiming to do a series, noticing these small things.
