Maxine Bristow
Textile artist
Bristow’s work is inspired by repetitive patterns found in
everyday objects and the plans and organisation she makes before starting a
piece.
Her work shows the valuable
of simple objects and materials that are around us, with them providing
inspiration as usually seen as an unlikely source.
Bristow’s work shows
extreme discipline and dedication, creating one piece with 1,475 handmade button
holes setting her self a goal of 88 buttonholes a day to archive
her deadline. She shows that order, being patient and quiet can be expressive.
Often Bristow uses weaving
and embroidery in her work, she finds interest in functional objects
that she comes across in charity shops, such as sheets pillowcases and
handkerchiefs.
