Heather Martin
A member of Bath Textile Artists for over 25 years, I enjoy working with other like-minded individuals towards themed exhibitions.
‘Seven Birds of Paradise’ was produced for the last exhibition at Bath Royal Scientific and Literary Institute. I studied the cases of stuffed birds in the collection, many of them faded and dusty looking. My birds are brilliantly coloured as if they are still alive.
During the last two years I have produced several pieces reflecting my feelings during the lockdowns and also several based on local walks. I am fascinated by maps and the patterns within them, and used print as well as stitch to represent them.
My most recent Community Arts Project was working with over a hundred adults and children to produce butterflies painted on silk, these will be hung in the entrance lobby of our revamped Village Hall.
