Speaking with trees

Artist Statement

Philippa’s current artistic practice explores expressive instincts during the slow, meditative process of hand-stitching. Her use of experimentation through contrasts in textures and tone create atmospheric textile pieces. Working freely and intuitively, it’s a cathartic process and the end result is organic and unexpected. Each piece is a personal, visual reaction to a moment in time.

Philippa takes inspiration from overlooked elements of nature. The quiet green glow slowly softening the grey of man-made structures, the unrelenting optimism of nature, reminding us we share our planet and when humans stop, nature thrives.

Born in the UK (1980) with a degree in Fine Art Painting, Philippa has a background career in Props/Secnic Painting for the film industry and lives in London.
