Just when I really convinced myself that I needed to focus myself on photography and 3D modelling and let my interest in texiles just rest for a while, I stumbled across the videoos on YouTube from Scottish textile artist Maggie Ayres.
And thus spend most of my afternoon browsing her gallery and viewing her YouTube videoos.
She creates intricate, but in my opinion, delicate texile pieces that speak volumes. She has no problems with showing her emotions in the work - which makes it a very personal encounter as a viewer.
What I also like is that despite the complexities of textures and the variety of tones and colours there is a sense of openness and lightness in some of her pieces.
But you really have to see for yourself!
Anyone interested should check out her website:

there is also an option to subscribe for her newsletter on this site.
On YouTube you will find several videoos by Maggie about her work. You will find an overview on this page:

Here is a small overview of one of her shows:

I'm so pleased you introduced me to the work of Maggie Ayres - just stunningly beautiful pieces. She's an inspiration - and I'm a bookbinder, not a fibre artist.
