SUMMARY:Jane Arthur - Talk - "Antartica in Stitch"
DESCRIPTION:Jane works in mixed media\, collage and textiles.  She has travelled extensively with two very memorable trips to Antarctica in 2002 and 2020 where she fell in love with this cold but beautiful place.  Her work takes inspiration from landscape and memory whether it is a local walk or marvelling at icebergs.  She is fascinated by stone circles and the evidence of early people in the landscape. \nShe builds her work in layers starting with a base fabric and adding collage\, paint and stitch. She reuses and recycles fabric\, bringing the evidence of previous use (buttons\, unpicked seams\, darts etc)\, left over scraps and threads into her work. \nShe moved to Worcester in 2018 and joined the Bevere Gallery Artists Studios in November 2022. She regularly exhibits with the Midlands Textile Forum and is a member of On the Surface Group in Moseley\, Birmingham taking part in Birmingham Open Studios and of Stitch Together Textiles. \nJane has been fascinated (not to say obsessed) with the history of exploration in Antarctica for over 30 years.  She visited twice and fell in love with this cold\, but beautiful\, place.  Her first visit in 2002 kick started a renewed interest in working with textiles as she tried to capture the strangeness of bergs and the colour of ice.  She created a textile diary on her second visit in 2020 (just before Covid19 shut everything down) and has produced many more works since.  She also become a trustee of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust – the trust looks after 6 heritage sites on the Antarctic peninsula including Port Lockroy\, the penguin post office. \nThe talk is free to members of Textile Explorers\nDoors open at 7pm
