details about this work


Kate Farley is based in Birmingham, West Midlands


I explore ideas and compositions using drawing and print processes with outcomes on paper and textiles as well as large scale digital solutions. I am inspired by landscape and our relationship with particular places. Allotments and kitchen gardens have inspired my most recent collection - Plot to Plate. This includes hand-made, screen-printed products of tea-towels, napkins, bags and notebooks.
