An artist who focuses on making textile art, including large scale works, recycling textiles and above all needlework. While at times she has stitched the found needlework together using a vintage sewing machine. For the past nine years her work has been primarily constructed by pinning the extracted embroidery and lace to nylon tulle. However, what impressed me the most was not the process she uses, but rather the subjects she chooses and the incredible light that her works radiate. See for yourself: cages minutely covered in animals and birds, all incredibly vivid and inspired by Kipling\u2019s Jungle Book. And flowers full of needlework, sequins, beads. Anything Louise Saxton creates is a glowing light which spreads energy all around. I\u2019ll leave you to the interview!<\/span><\/p><br><br><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Interview<\/h2><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">You are always working on reconstruction. Indeed, you use discarded embroidery and then put them all together again to make a new piece. How did you develop this technique and why?<\/span><\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">This painstaking technique and process of reconstructing old textiles, has developed over many years, following on from earlier work with discarded wall-papers. The patterned lining of every day business envelopes and even; reconstructing my own paintings and drawings. The progression to working solely with domestic textiles began about ten years ago, after an artist residency in Malaysia. I\u2019ve been building on the techniques over that decade.  The technique has developed to such a degree that I consider much of what I do \u201cpainting with textiles\u201d.  I also refer to it as assemblage, as it\u2019s similar to collaging, but rather than using glue and paper, I assemble countless textile fragments upon a swathe of nylon tulle, using pins.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">You are also a painter. Does this influence your work as a textile art? To what extent?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I was trained as a painter and print maker, using traditional materials, but have not done so for more than a decade now. But many pieces I have made using old textiles, entail a painterly technique, where I lay down an area of textiles and then overlay with different colours or tones. I do a lot of unpinning and re-pinning, just as a painter will put a layer of paint on and then scrape back and repaint.  I am also influenced by the history of painting. Many of the images I am creating are re-interpretations of historical paintings \u2013 whether a \u2018natural history\u2019 painting of a bird or insect, or a portrait in oil or acrylic.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/louise-saxton-intervista.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><br><br><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Louise Saxton connections<\/h2><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">What is your source of inspiration?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">F<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">or the past twenty years my main source of inspiration has been \u2018the home\u2019. The domestic realm and the domestic arts created in the home, such as embroidery, lace, quilting, etc.  I am also inspired by nature, and taking walks through parklands near my home. And, most importantly, I am inspired by the generations of women who have created the exquisite embroidery and lace that I now use as my primary art medium.  I am inspired by their patience and their commitment to creating something functional, which are also beautiful and take many hours of painstaking work to realize.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Which of your works do you feel the strongest connection with?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">t\u2019s not really possible to single out individual works for the strongest connection, as each different body of work is important to a particular time in one\u2019s artistic journey. As artists we need to keep taking risks, trying new things, in order to evolve artistically.  What I can say is the most important body of work to the development of my career, is The Sanctuary Collection, which was developed from 2010 \u2013 2016. It is a collection of birds and insects inspired by natural history painting throughout the centuries.  This body of work incorporates my first solo exhibition in a major contemporary art museum.  It also led to my being represented by two prestigious commercial art galleries, one here in Melbourne Australia and one in Boston USA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/louisesaxton-intervista.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Louise Saxton full time artist<\/h2><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">What is your perfect day like?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">U<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">ninterrupted, productive time in the studio following a long morning walk or a swim and a lovely cup of tea!

It is the space in which, I feel completely myself and can forget about other responsibilities or the worries of the world.  It is the space in which I gather all kinds of inspirational objects, as well as my art materials \u2013 embroidery and lace from all around the world.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/louise-saxtonintervista.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Louise Saxton Nature and ancient technology<\/h2><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">A sound or a smell which immediately connect you with your work?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">his is an unusual question, and so my answer will sound strange. Probably the smell of charity shops. I don\u2019t know if you have these in Italy, but they are shops where people donate goods and especially clothing and the money raised is given to charity. That is where I find much of my discarded embroidery and lace.  So, the smell of clothes and table linens once used and loved and worn by someone from the past, is the smell, which most connects to my work.  The sound would have to be the sound of birds in gardens and in nature. Because much of the embroidery and lace I use has been inspired by the world of flora and fauna.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">What do you think about the application of advanced technology to textile art?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">n my work I am interested in the re-use of the old and discarded, rather than the consumption of new materials. I think that the textile art world, is always evolving and I know that new technologies are constantly being tried and applied.  My work however, is mostly concerned with re-evaluating ancient technologies.  This is technology as expressed through hand-made textiles.  I use embroidery scissors to extract the needlework by hand. Then I attach it by hand to nylon tulle, using pins (also a very old technology).  It is about honouring and preserving aspects of the past, albeit in a new way.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/louisesaxtonintervista.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">If you liked this article maybe you would also enjoy  <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dyeinghousegallery.com\/en\/victoria-manganiello-exclusive-interview\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Victoria Manganiello \u2013 Textile Art As A Metaphor \u2013 Dhg Exclusive Interview<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Louise Saxton <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.louisesaxton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">official website here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Photos by <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gavinhansford.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Gavin Hansford<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p><br><br><p><br><\/p><br><br>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, DHG is presenting Louise Saxton.
