SUMMARY:Nigel Cheney - Talk - "Unravelling the Archive"
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Nigel\, his practice and work to date \nNigel Cheney is an embroiderer who lives and works in Market Harborough\, Leicestershire. \nHis work deals with memory and narrative\, through complex visual metaphors and plays upon literature\, history and fables. His work explores the tensions between the handmade and digital technologies and often uses the natural world as a key reference point.  A fascination with colour\, texture\, surface and mark making informs rich\, layered grounds. Graphite studies of birds and animals are photographed before being digitally manipulated and combined to develop compositions that are printed onto fabric before stitching onto previously loved textiles. He enjoys the contradictions between unwanted textiles\, painterly grounds\, exact machine embroidery and detailed hand stitch that translate his drawn marks. \nHis work has exhibited widely throughout Europe and has won numerous awards and is in a number of International collections. \nWith extensive experience in Education\, Industry and as external examiner he held the position of Lecturer in Embroidered Textiles at National College of Art and Design\, Ireland for over 24 years before retiring to live in his native Harborough 7 years ago. \nThis talk is free to members of Textile Explorers\nDoors open at 7pm
