Dreams of Chaos - Imogen Morris
Artist, Imogen says
“I am influenced by the traditional craft of hand-embroidery, but my style puts a contemporary spin on thread as an art material. My practice challenges the boundaries between craft and fine art.
I see thread as my pencil or paintbrush; exploring the versatility of thread, in ways that means it intrudes into other mediums. I push, pull and stretch the line of thread to draw. I build up layers in colour to create form, light, and shadow. I morph thread into tangible, 3D forms to push the work into the sculptural realm.”
Imogen is experimenting with depicting the same subject at different angles to portray a sense of movement in this piece. ‘Dreams of Chaos’ is the first piece Imogen created with this goal in mind.
The work is busy, elaborate with a hint of the chaotic - multiple layers of thread and paint work that create a striking and bold image with elements of subtlety.
This is the first time Imogen has used spray paint to create mini ‘splatters’ to add an extra textural dimension to her work. The colour palette of grey and peach is becoming a favourite of hers!
