‘I immerse myself in the process of making and fuse this together with the imagery that inspires me. I never tire of making, creating and inventing with cloth, colour and texture; it is where I find balance and contentment. Textiles are my celebrated medium, linking fine-art and craftwork.’ Pauline Burbidge
Pauline Burbidge is a textile artist, designer and quiltmaker based in the Scottish Borders. The landscape, plant-forms and seasonal changes provide endless resource and inspiration.
‘I draw, stitch, print and collage my way through many processes to create what I see as ‘textile landscapes’. Today I make two types of quilt, some are wall hangings/fabric collages, and others functional, practical, whole-cloth quilts. My career spans over more than four decades – throughout this time I have developed my own unique visual language.’ – Pauline Burbidge
