prayer to the sky by Judy Martin
three layers of wool, indigo and madder dyes, hand stitched and slashed 60 x 64.5" 2019 |
Currently my work is simple.
I have to keep reminding myself about the aesthetic of simplicity.
It is challenging to be simple when the materials are lush.
I am concerned with the passage of time and use hand-stitch as a metaphor for time and touch.

red thread hearts by judy martin
sixteen women's handkerchiefs, damask table linen, cotton and silk theads, hand stitched 76 x 76 " 2019 |
Subjects I keep returning to in my work are: vulnerability, female-ness, the inner dream world and love relationships.
The sense of touch is the mother of the senses.
I use it to reach the emotional inner world of my viewers.
I try to hold spirit within my work.
(((Judy))) love seeing your artwork enjoying the sun out in your garden, a perfect gallery space!
