Carole Bury 'Golden Feathers' Nature in Art

Описание: Carole Bury, a Cotswold based artist, has a work, ‘Fossil Fish Ring’, in our permanent collection and has been a regular artist in residence for many years. This video gives a brief glimpse of Carole making a piece ‘Golden Feathers’ which is one of a series under the title ‘Rambling Collection’. She works with drawings and paper textiles. Her output has an instantly recognisable style.
Carole works fluidly across and between textiles and drawing reflecting her love and passion with the created world around her. All her work is informed by the inspiration she gets from nature and the experiences she has of it and within it. She is constantly sketching and observing in pencil and charcoal as a means of exploring and understanding subjects and ideas. Through this deep relationship her mark making is pared down to ‘an essential structure and language that sings’. Her drawings fill her studio walls and are the working tools for her paper textiles.
Carole uses embroidery and constructional techniques, which have a beauty, depth and quietness of their own. Working with lightweight and transparent papers she transforms them with scissors, stitch, paint and gold leaf. Whilst always an exciting process, from experimenting and sampling, through to creating the fully worked pieces, Carole undertakes the physical act of making slowly and thoughtfully, in contrast to the energy of the groundwork that is in their origin.
