Annette Emms is a Textile Artist, living and working in the beautiful Vale of Evesham, where Shakespeares? Avon flows through fruit orchards, against a backdrop of the Cotswold Hills.As she explores the countryside around her she loves to weave a story around her work. This land teems with legends which are waiting to be re- discovered and secret places, full of magic and mystery. Since she was a child, she has played with fabric, thread and stories. Her work combines this and a fascination with the natural world, old churches, history and local legends.
She builds layers of fabric and stitch, which form interesting textures. These are then used to create dimensional pieces through which she hopes the observer can glimpse a little ?Magic?
