Contextual Research - Embroidery



Sarah Davidson is a multi disciplined artist who's work branches throughout mixed media, textiles, illustration and embroidery.  Davidson is an up and coming artist who recently graduated with first class honours from Cleveland College of Art and Design. What first attracted me to Sarahs work, was her abstract approach to drawing, using techniques such as collage to build up a layer of marks and lines, that represent an object or idea in a very personal way. 

Since starting my degree and delving into the possibilities and importance of drawing, I have began to discover an abstract approach within my own artistic 'hand writing' which with the encouragement of drawing days is beginning to show itself more and more. Sarahs work has inspired me to expand this desire to work freely and openly and enjoy my own responses to making, which can sometimes be dismissed by the fear of not doing something correctly, or to the 'norm'.
