Out There – Sue Lancaster

28 May – 10 July 2021

The artworks in this exhibition have all been created by Sue Lancaster as a personal response to her environment.
For many years she has worked with themes rooted in observation:
Landscape – in the biggest sense of distance; across fields, hills, and mountains, and also detail; the plants, the hedges and trees, the nature and the natural as well as the manmade, the structures such as walls, gardens and allotments.
Seascape – attempting to capture mood, movement, and the sense of air.

This exhibition shows a wide selection of works from realistic pieces on paper and in textile as well as stylised responses resulting in decorative pieces for the wall, fashion, and interior accessories.
The work starts ‘OUT THERE’ as in outside, beyond her home, places visited, and develops in terms of ‘OUT-THERE’ as in a personal and original body of work unlike the work of any other artist.

About Sue Lancaster

I draw, paint, dye, print, hand stitch, machine embroider; make textile artworks, accessories and soft furnishings. I teach workshops and courses at my studio.

I am a rare animal these days – I have a BA Honours Degree in Embroidery. In the 40 years since graduating I have collected further qualifications, such as PGCE in Art and in 2013 I was awarded a Fellowship of the Society of Designer Craftsmen.

My work has changed considerably in those years but I always involve stitch. I use many other textile processes as well; dyeing, printing and staining the fabrics that I stitch into by hand or machine.

I work on a variety of sewing machines including an ‘Irish’ machine, which is an industrial embroidery machine on which I can free draw with a zigzag stitch that is twice as wide as a normal domestic machine – very exciting!
