The beauty, colour and texture of nature
inspire me to portray the wonder of world I live in. This arbutus tree with its
magnificent change of colour through the seasons, the sinuous, twisting curve
of its branches and its resilient, tenacity, clinging to a rocky outcrop, spoke
to me. It is a metaphor to me of how to live. So I express it with an old craft
form transformed in a modern art context.
Techniques: Hooked and punched with hand
dyed wool cloth strips, wool yarns, mohair and cotton chenille on a linen
backing.

Abstract
Pippa Moore
After deciding that it is the lines of
arbutus branches that draw me in and delight me most, I studied one particular
tree, simplifying its lines, then repeating and connecting these in an abstract
composition. While it references the colours and lines of original tree, I hope
to convey something of what I imagine is its inner life, its life story.
Techniques: Fusible appliqué, machine
quilting.
