Anita Bruce - Fine Art Textiles

With a background in both the life sciences and textile arts, Anita explores the boundaries between the arts and science, particularly with reference to biodiversity. Intricate sculptural and hand stitched textiles reference loss of habitat and biodiversity.

Provoked by the haunting sight of books damaged by a flood at the Libreria Acqua Alta in Venice, a strangely beautiful tourist attraction, The Library of Damaged and Repaired Books imagines the impact of cultural and environmental change. Small darnings reflect a search for hope and repair. #prismtextiles2020 #repair #darning #climatechange https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNgO7cnKzO/?igshid=3nbmz1xadbr5

Experimental Tapestry and Botanical Printing

Experimenting with small tapestries bundled in with Khadi paper books and oak leaves. As a beginner at tapestry this is a ‘proof of concept’, but has worked well enough to develop the process further. Rather excited! #tapestry #wool #silk #cotton #botanicalcolours #schoolofnomadarts #beingthere
