Pauline Burbidge: Textile Artist and Designer
In the second episode in a new series of interviews with contemporary artists and makers, hosted by gallery manager, Hannah Munby, we have been lucky enough to catch up with textile artist and designer, Pauline Burbidge, whose 2sqm quilt, Starscape, will be exhibited as part of our Plantlife exhibition.
I hope you enjoy listening to this interview with Pauline and discovering more about the inspiration behind the quilt, her life and work on the Scottish Borders with her artist husband, Charlie Poulsen and what she’s been up to during the lockdown.
The gallery programme has developed over the two years since we opened to include an annual exhibition of artworks inspired by the natural world. Plantlife is the third in this series and explores the relationship that artists have with plants, their shape, colour and form and how that translates to the objects and images they create in response.
You can view Starscape alongside the other Plantlife artworks in our virtual exhibition at fendittongallery.com which goes live on Friday 19th June.
A percentage of the sales from this exhibition will be donated to support the Road Verges Campaign from conversation charity Plantlife. Nearly half of all the UK’s wildflowers are found on our road verges and the charity works with local councils to manage and protect these vital natural habitats for our wildlife.
