Pauline Burbidge dating history

Details

When Burbidge began her career as a quilt-maker, in the mid-1970s, she thought and behaved like the designer she had trained as, carefully working out designs in advance of stitching, using paper designs and templates. Today she works in a free, intuitive and much more organic way, producing material and aesthetic responses to landscape that align her far more closely with developments that have taken place in textile art more broadly over this period. Using fabric, paint, stitch and texture as an expressive medium, she conjures up abstract imagery to convey powerful emotion and an overwhelming sense of place…the lyricism of her most recent body of work and her command of the visual language she deploys are the thrilling outcome.
