Jo Evans / 100 Hours

Working with my own two hands, a minimal colour palette and my fabric collection as my paint box, I create quiet abstracts with textiles. Currently, I make assemblages using beautiful natural materials such as linen, hemp and silk, manipulating but also relinquishing control to the warp and weft.

My work is generally improvised using materials I have to hand, although my quilts are meticulously designed and calculated - a process of many parts. I am drawn to "traditionally female" methods of creation, favouring texture and a simple modern aesthetic, rooted in traditional techniques. Everything I make is one of a kind with every stitch sewn by me and I believe that every hour spent on a piece shows in the finished article.
