braving new technology

During my Artist-in-Residence at Batley Art Gallery, West Yorks, Uk. Autum 2009 I was filmed talking about the the art work I was producing for that specific Aerist-in-Residence project. My huge thanks to my friend Si, I am now on You Tube: an interview with Carrie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reY2hF2gyO4 The film was made by Si King, Skater, Photographer, Film Maker , Lover of Adventure, along with snow100.

... I love vast stretches of sea and sky, I feel I am on the edge of something, an anticipation hangs between, betwixt sea and sky...   
 ...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional  techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire .  Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent  with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape.  Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
