Cityscapes

Lyn Crutchley

I am fascinated by the energy of city and its glorious buildings: those filled with a deep sense of story and history, those built in a more modern style reflecting the work of our creative architects and lastly by the process of building under construction. Seeing a building under construction is like seeing a child grow up - secure framework is visible at first and then gradually the building is enveloped by structure and one must make a conscious effort to delve into the qualities inside. My medium of choice is predominantly textiles with paint and stitching added. I hold a Diploma in Stitchef Textiles from City & Guilds in London - a 7 year course of intense study of all things to do with textiles, hand and machine embroidery, dyeing of fabric as well as academic studies of embroidery around the world!
