Collection: Maxine Sutton

(b 1963, United Kingdom. Lives and works in Margate)

Maxine's work is a meeting point between formative creative experiences with textiles in her childhood; and her formal art education in Painting. A personal response to materials; such as cloth paper; ink; thread and yarn provide starting points. Materials resist and yield; and I move back and forth between them. In a sense this mirrors the continuous pull between my ”˜natural' human making impulses; and the limitations of a taught ”˜fine art' knowledge.
