Vivienne Crisell

"I am a practising Textile and Collage artist. I have channelled my education in fashion, colour and design into the medium of machine embroidery and dyeing.

In this medium I find the exploration of texture, colour and form is limitless. I work using photography, life and the environment as a constant source of inspiration. I combine paint, dyes and embroidery to form three dimensional textural effects.”
