I am a textile practitioner who is interested in exploring the interplay of light and shadow and capturing the sense of rhythm and movement that they can represent.
By developing my work from drawing and observation and my own photographs, I aim to expand the subject matter in many directions.
The challenge of creating a three dimensional effect on a two dimensional surface in fabric through colour or monochromatic hues has been a long held fascination.
Linda Gleave has a BA in Fashion/Textiles and now focuses on making textile art pieces based on her drawings, paintings and photographs. Her work aims to capture the effects of light on landscapes, seascapes and to reflect the fragility of the earth.
