Textile Artist in the Spotlight : Jane Price

Textile8Today’s artist in the spotlight is Jane Price. Exactly four years ago, her work was our very first feature exhibition. At the time, Jane worked with inlaid papers and photo- and lucidagrams. Even though her work is mixed media, her first love was always textiles.

“45 Southside encourages experimentation which is an encouragement to an artist. This gallery has accepted and welcomed my diverse works in paper and textiles. My current brightly coloured abstracts have channelled an interest in saturated colour combi-nations; the works are like paintings but are also embroidered.”

box web“Being an artist involves developing new ideas, acquiring skills, responding to outside stimuli of time and place and implementing this acquisition of experience. Not repeating yourself is a challenge as it is a process of self discovery, but it is essential to keep studio practice vibrant. I believe in inclusion rather than exclusion and looking at drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, textiles, and papermaking are all enriching and interconnected disciplines! This cross fertilization is evident in the works I produce.”

Jane lives and works from her studio in Exeter and has been a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen for 25 years where she frequently exhibits.

Some of Jane’s work is also available in the online shop and more will be added very soon.

Feast your senses on textiles

Textile1This must be one of the most sumptuous and tactile exhibitions we have ever had. Come and see for yourself tomorrow from 3pm with a chance to meet some of the artists.

It is British wool week this week, which is a good reason to feature Debbie Rudolph’s weaving.

We will feature the other artists, fellow weaver Sue Spooner, contemporary embroidery by Jane Price and Beverley Bailey, mixed media textiles by Helen Edwards as well as ceramic panels, which started as embroidery by Emma West, in the coming days here in our news page..

Textile11Artisan Weaver Debbie Rudolph lives in Cornwall and gained extensive weaving experience during a degree from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London followed by a weaving scholarship with the International Wool Secretariat. Debbie uses her experience to create wonderful materials, which she turns into scarves, cushions, purses and bags. She weaves on a 40 year old Swedish made ‘Lillstina’ Loom. Her designs use surface texture and a bold approach to colour to create visually exciting and tactile beautiful textiles which conjure up other cultures and eras, while remaining refreshingly contemporary.

Find out more about the event on Saturday 19th October here.

It is the smaller more colourful pewter panel underneath the larger panel. Also back with new work are Hamlin and Wright with their fused glass panels towards the back of the picture.

Jane Price will be part of our textile exhibition in the autumn

box webHere at 45 Southside we are currently planning a textile exhibition from 18th October – 17th November 2013. Jane Price is one of the five artists who will be exhibiting. Part of the exhibtion will be three artists who have not exhibited with 45 Southside before, Debbie Rudolph, Sue Spooner and Emma West.

Jane has recently delivered some of her new work, a little taster of her textile work. Many of you will remember Jane for her stunning inlaid paper and three-dimensional mixed media pieces, but textiles and stitiching have always been part of her work.
