maxine sutton

Maxine describes her work as a meeting point, between early creative experiences with textiles in her childhood, as well as her formal art education. After receiving degree in Fine Art Painting at Ravensbourne College of Art (1985), Maxine later reconnected with her affinity for cloth, and studied for an MA in Constructed Textiles at the Royal College of Art (2005). Recent work can be characterized by the combination of screen printing with embroidery, appliqué and other needlework processes. Sutton works with found, recycled and organic fabrics from her studio in Margate, UK.
