FROM April 15 until May 30, Collection Gallery, Ledbury, will be showing new work by Stratford-on-Avon artist Sara Huxley Edwards.
Homes and gardens, roads and rivers, bridges and buildings are mapped out in series of bold, abstract textile collages.
Inspired by a love of architecture and the perspective offered by aerial photography, these evocative pieces combine painting, printing, embroidery and collage.
The places that provoke a creative response in Huxley Edwards are not beauty spots. 'White City Fly-over', 'Canary Wharf', 'Big Tom's All Night Caf' - public places become personal spaces represented in layers of paint or fine voile fabric.
The immediate impression is one of bold colour and texture, then a glimpse of gold leaf breaks through or a small patch of detailed stitching is spotted and we are caught wondering what the story is behind the place.
There is always a story behind Huxley Edwards' work and it is always an appealing one.
