Eszter Bornemisza

It isn’t unusual for textile artists to find their passion for textiles after another career and Hungarian Eszter Bornemisza is no exception. She was a researcher in sociology and gained a PhD in mathematical statistics before a chance visit to a French Quilt Exhibition changed her path.  “I saw art quilts for the first time and thought they were like modern paintings made in the medium of textiles,” she explains. “I had always been keen on contemporary art, but never thought of trying to paint myself. Here my two independent interests suddenly joined up together: textile and modern art. It became clear to me in a flash, that this is what I have to do!” She has been a fibre artist ever since and works with recycled paper, textile and found objects using machine embroidery, dyeing and painting in much of her work.

Jette Clover

Jette Clover has been a full time artist for over 20 years and produces 10 to 12 large pieces and 70 to 80 smaller pieces each year. “Most often the small pieces happen afterwards and are made from left-over materials of the big pieces”, she explains. Below is one of those smaller pieces – Ponderings 1 made in 2018 and measuring 20 x 20cms. Whether you are lucky enough to own or view one of her art works big or small, or read her book ‘Words and Walls,’ the juxtaposition of stitch, words and fabrics makes her work incredibly special.
