Sarah Edmondson: Statement
My diverse art practice explores chance and the unexpected through the serendipity of found text and technological glitches. Using various textile materials, I play with text, colour, and texture, creating abstract compositions inspired by neurology. Slow stitching processes contradict the speed of technology, reflecting my interest in language and memory. I incorporate glitches, paralleling corrupted digital files with disruptions to neural pathways. Brightly coloured threads and faux fur evoke a futuristic feel. Additionally, I transcribe amusing hand-written notes into needlepoint tapestry, re-contextualising them to invite viewer interpretation.
