Detail : Corrugated Iron by Jo Budd 170x260cm.


Went to Farfeild Mill at Sedergh which was interesting. They have artists work displayed in small areas and small work rooms for the artists so that you can see them at work or talk to them. Also there are rooms for larger exhibitions. At the moment it is the work of Jo Budd who is a painter who works with fabric rather than paper or canvas. Her work 'Beyond Surfaces' are feelings about landscape which are expressed through vibrant colours, subtle marks and textures. They are made up of layers of dyed and painted silk. From a distance they look like paintings but close inspection reveals the stitches and lose thread that add to the effect.
