Interpreting The Landscape

As part of our 2022 Bursary Programme for 2022 we are delighted to be hosting a solo show in our Courtyard Gallery for Devon Based artist, Rebecca Holley.

Sacred Dartmoor exhibition is a collection of textile works inspired by sacred sites and places of special interest across the Dartmoor landscape.

Each piece has been individually designed from direct reference drawings of the area. A palette of reclaimed materials has been selected and hand hooked into a hessian backing, closely following the design to form the finished textile panel

Artist ( Description ): 

I am an artist living and working in rural Mid Devon.  

After completing a 2-year foundation course at Bournville School Of Art, Birmingham, I gained a Fine Art (Sculpture) Degree from Bath School Of Art & Design in 1992.  Later, I completed a short course of traditional hooked rag rug making, I soon realised the combination of design, colour and texture made this a perfect medium through which to express my ideas.

On moving to Devon, I set up a studio in the centre of Exeter where I worked on my individual practise and ran classes teaching rug making techniques.  I built up a reputation for producing textile panels which have a painterly quality that reflect my fine art background.

My art practise includes many different areas of making, from drawing and painting to printmaking and 3D which all compliment my hooked textile works.  Inspiration comes from many different sources and subject matter has included objects from different cultures, images through a microscope and natural phenomena.

A number of works have been widely exhibited, many pieces are owned privately, others belong to collections such as DAISI (Devon Arts In Schools Initiative) and @BRISTOL
