Polly Binns

Yesterday Polly Binns gave a talk entitled

A Personal View

Polly subtitled it 'or how I understand myself'

She described her work as being autobiographical - a culmination of her life, age, education, opportunities, career etc.  This was particularly relevant to me because I have described my current project as autobiographical. Polly is the same age as me but with totally different life experiences.  She described the changes which have happened over her lifetime in the study of textiles, the vocabulary of textiles, her practice and her collaborations over the years.  She is inspired by the natural world which she observes on her walks, she likes to use grid formations.  Overall, her message was that we are unique and that our work will be unique as a result.
