Marion Glover MSDC
Stitched Textiles

Profile

Marion’s current work explores her response to shafts of light penetrating through the rainforest canopy, and ways to capture this elusive quality with fine fibres, monofilament and glass crystals.

“A Secret Spirit” is an animation video of textile fantasy trees, responding to study of Byzantine mosaic ceilings where the human figure is portrayed framed with trees of extraordinary liveliness, absurdity and spirit. Music and verse are incorporated with the dancing movements of the trees.

Experimentation with colour also absorbs Marion and she continues to explore the use of dyes on fabric, using silkscreen printing of both dyes and surface paints, adding machine and hand stitch overlays. Subsequent cutting, pleating and manipulation of the fabric alters the image further.

After teaching in adult education for some years, Marion now works freelance, teaching courses and workshops in addition to group lectures. Topics covered include design, drawing and painting, use of colour in textiles, machine embroidery, and Elizabethan and Stuart embroidery.
