deb cooper textile art
Rowlands Gill
The process of being creative & the appreciation of creativity in others is, in
my opinion, one of life’s great joys. I have been interested in Art of various
types for as long as I can remember, and have inherited a passion for making
things. My work is mainly in textiles & mixed media, focusing on line &
texture." Deb Cooper is a mixed media textile artist and maker from the
Northeast of England. Drawn to natural forms, & the beautiful way nature and
time ages things. Line, flow & texture, always return as the main themes within
her work. Considering the impact of waste and over production Deb regularly uses
recycled fibres, found objects and vintage textiles to extend their use. Many of
the repurposed fibres have also been dyed with plant materials and rusty
objects, often found, or grown on her allotment giving her work a subtle colour
pallet. Deb is a proud member of the Society for Embroidered Works (S.E.W.) who
promote that “Stitched Art is Art”.
