Marion Anniss came to speak to us this month. She delighted us with detail about her awe and wonder series which was inspired by Norwich Cathedral.

Marion Anniss Awe and Wonder series

History is usually the starting point for Marion's research -" the architecture, artefacts, wall and floor decorations of old buildings - get me sketching or photographing, and I take these images into designs. I review my observational drawings, sketches and experiments looking for patterns and shapes which I manipulate digitally. I am searching for images that will work as backgrounds for my textile pieces."History is usually the starting point for Marion's research -" the architecture, artefacts, wall and floor decorations of old buildings - get me sketching or photographing, and I take these images into designs.
