Elżbieta Kuźniar (Kraków, Poland)

Title (Year): A piece of sky - moon (2014).
Materials and Techniques: Hand dyeing, printing and painting, cotton band, bronze leaf, cotton with linen. The work has two layers. The base is cotton with linen fused by stitching cotton band.
Size: 155 x 131 cm.
Comment [1]: In my textile works, I'm concentrated on shape, color and structure. The main color is black and all of its shades. My favorite fabrics are cotton and linen (mainly for hand dyeing and printing). My works refer to symbolic themes and are created as a result of searching and interpreting the reality we live in - mostly nature. Recently, my favorite are to work with heavenly phenomenon, especially the moon.

Roberta Le Poidevin (Guernsey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom)
Full View
Title (Year): A Thousand Acres (2014).
Materials and Techniques: Cotton fabric, cotton wadding, Lutradur, cotton thread, Indian ink, Bondaweb, Procion dye and disperse dye. Cotton fabric monoprinted, scraped and sponged with thickened Procion dye. Disperse dyed Lutradur covered in Indian ink writing using a needle-nosed bottle, applied to background by fused appliqué. Free machine embroidered and straight line quilted.
Size: 105 x 140 cm.
Comment [1]: Inspired by the story behind King Lear and its modern retelling, 'A Thousand Acres' by Jan Smiley. The vastness of the sky and landscape and the approach of a storm seen over the land. The threatening sky and imminent storm convey the sense of impending disaster for a dysfunctional family.

Amelia Leigh (Southwick, West Sussex, United Kingdom)
Full View
Title (Year): Elizabethan, 2 (2013).
Materials and Techniques: Cotton sateen, cotton. Piecing, quilting.
Size: 163 x 116 cm.
Comment [1]: My fascination with half-timbered houses contines with this piece. It's interesting that in general half-timbered houses in Britain are black & white, while in the rest of Europe they seem to be black & yellow, so this is a street corner where both styles meet.
