Artist, designer, and educator Zoe Gilbertson is known for her mesmerizing color patterns that are created by a combination of wool, spraypaint, and tapestry canvas, offering an alternative interpretation to the traditional pastime of embroidery. Having studied Fashion at UCA Epsom, her work with textiles is very much a continuation of her early studies.\n\n\n\n

But surprisingly, as a fashion designer, Gilbertson rarely worked with embroidery or hand stitching. “The act of hand stitching is still very traditional and loaded with meaning,” she shared with Venison Magazine. “Visually I want to create something modern and relevant to contemporary art today and the digital references are formed through the design of the artwork,” she adds. \n\n\n\n

72 Days, a lockdown piece on pause. I have to admit I felt lucky to enjoy the initial calm of the first 2 months but now I feel frustrated, agitated and ineffectual. Like others, I desperately want to react to many issues, most predominantly inequality and climate change. I\u2019m not entirely sure where to start but intend to figure something out. #quarantineart #textileoftheday #fibreart #needlepoint
