reflections



Dancing lines - A study of water reflections. Stitched and quilted.
by Pauline Burbridge - quiltmaker, textile artist, designer/maker

Displayed at exhibition Take 4 - New perspectives on the British art quilt which started at The Whitworth Art Gallery Manchester in September 1998 and toured to Castle Museum & Art Gallery Nottingham Aberdeen Art Gallery Glynn Vivian Art Gallery Swansea and Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery Carlisle.



" Take one person who, at the age of twenty five was moved when viewing an exhibition of antique quilts, and mix it with her art school practice of drawing, colour, line, and abstraction. Stir in a passion for cloth, stitching and making, together with a love of the rural landscape, the natural world and the spirituality of a special place, and you begin to get a picture of my textile artwork now. Many influences have come and gone, however, thirty six years on, quilt making still moves me!!" - Pauline Burbridge
