ELIZA KENTRIDGE
Wivenhoe
Born in Johannesburg, Eliza studied
English Literature before working for an anti-apartheid educational
organisation. She then studied drawing and printmaking at Oxford and moved
to Wivenhoe in 1990. Her fabric works combine a linear quality with the
spontaneity of collage.
She draws her references from historical
textiles, such as Ghanaian Fante Flags, European samplers and the folk art
traditions of domestic fabrics such as Indian and Middle Eastern blankets,
rugs and clothing., but the images are often based on her own
drawings. |
