EDITH PARGH BARTON BA Edith’s work is rooted in observation of the world around her. There is a warmth and humour in her paintings and sculptures that reveal a joy in playing with paint and fabric, a delight in the unusual; of existing between the real and the imaginary. Her textile sculptures have human-like qualities that people connect with emotionally and respond to on a profound level. Her abstract paintings depict landscapes that are familiar yet strange; they are journeys into a dream-like place created out of personal memories.

The paintings contain stitch-like marks and staccato tacks, scratched into thick layers of paint. Similarly, the surfaces of her sculptures are built using applique and hand and machine stitching that echo the mark making in her paintings. She welcomes the influence of one art form on the other.
