Hannah Wisdom Textiles
Textile art created by sewing onto old sea charts to celebrate our coastal heritage. Using rescued and recycled fabrics to create something brand new.
My original textile artworks are created in my Plymouth, Devon studio, using rescued and recycled fabrics sewn onto old discarded admiralty charts. My works show wildlife, history and culture, and the charts add context, providing an immediate linkage to the environment of the subject. The charts bring their own history to the piece, and I love how their scars and blemishes add an extra layer of interest to the work.
My prints are produced by my local fine art printer, using cutting edge 3D scanning technology. This means that my prints show all the texture and depth of the original works, and are often mistaken for the originals!
I have a gallery and studio in the old seaplane hangars at Mount Batten. You are welcome to come and pay me a visit! I'm usually there Tues - Fri 10-3, but please get in touch if you are making a special trip, in case I am at a market or need to pop out on an errand. I'm opposite the beach, just along from the cafe, and there is plenty of free parking. There's an events area on this website so you can catch me out and about.
