Sandra Blow's scale of work - shape, colour and texture is a wonderful inspiration to me and I ended up buying a copy of this book to have with me always !
The Art of Annmieke Mein - wildlife artist in textiles Search press 2001 isbn 978 0 85532 977 8
the embroidery, attention to detail and colours are beautiful and wonderful to see how line and texture are captured and represented
Techno textiles 2 Sarah E Braddock and Marie O Mahony Thames and Hudson 2005 isbn 978 0 500 28684 5
As before a wealth of information about technological developments which is mind blowing. I became especially interested in the use of light / electricity within fabric ( being married to an electrical engineer !). Illustrations are beautiful. On the shelf alongside volume 1 !!
Matisse his art and his textiles - book to accompany exhibition Metropolitan museum New York 2004 - 2005 isbn 1 903973 47 3
A wonderful gift to me - I have had time to gaze at the details of textiles within the paintings exhibited and to link these to the collection Matisse made for himself of textiles. magical book.
Victoria Crowe - Painted insights Victoria Crowe and Michael Walton 2nd edt 2009 isbn 978 1 8511495894
A book I came across by chance and I am delighted to have found this artist. Her mixed media work - the juxtaposition of interior and exterior fragments are breathtaking.
Raoul Dufy 1877 - 1953 Arts Council of Great Britain isbn 0 7287 0381 5 Exhibition catalogue and accompanying essays. An artist I had never known and yet now whose use of line and colour I can see echoes of in interiors and fabrics I love. The way he portrays botanical subjects without them being predictable or staid is something I want to return to.
