Study (Blue Pod) in ivy, 2010

Study (Blue Pod) in ivy, 2010

details about this work


Jenny Ford is based in Mickleton, nr Chipping Campden, South West


I trained in Fine Art and use textile media and methods in my work. My current sculptures are constructed from vibrant silk velvet, silk dupion and other sumptuous fabrics enclosing wire cable and tubing. Each is exuberant yet mysterious - tactile and seductive.
