Vicky Bilton - Textile Artist
Vicky is drawn to the seasons, the landscape and of nature. She is also attracted to the things that go un-noticed such as the ever changing fragility of old buildings, rusty doors or flaking paint.
She uses machine embroidery, drawing with the needle in a free way or hand techniques such as Japanese Boro, layering scraps of distressed and pre-used fabrics to create a new whole piece of fabric by layering, trapping, folding, darning and mending. She prints, paints, dyes and stains fabrics and paper. After careful selection, the small pieces are layered, patched and pieced.
