POLLY BARTON
Polly Barton is a nationally recognized artist who has been working in fiber for over thirty years. She is known for adapting the ancient weaving technique of ikat tying and dyeing into contemporary woven imagery. Her recent work is a series of drawings in thread. Seduced by the surface of lush, mat pastel on paper stitched with metallic thread, she has been using needlework as a new way to follow the thread of ideas. |
