Jenny explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am an artist weaver creating my own vocabulary of symbols in weave around themes of ambiguity, generational geographies and human experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent work reflects my experience as the mother of a young adult changing their gender identity. I weave transitional pattern and colour sequences to explore evolving narratives of identity, belonging and motherhood. My weaving brings together old and new in a sampler format, reconstructing traditional textile imagery to question socio-political frameworks and offer new, inclusive meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a career as a textile designer and trend consultant, and more recently as an exhibitions and learning curator, my focus now is my own practice as an artist and educator. Alongside my weaving, I teach creative textile workshops for arts, heritage and community organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am delighted to be a new member of the Textile Study Group. Membership for me means being part of a welcoming group, where I can connect with other textile artists\/tutors and support each other creatively. I\u2019m really looking forward to developing my work as part of the weekend workshops, and especially to exhibiting with the group.\u00a0“<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are thrilled to announce we have two new members who recently joined the Textile Study Group.
