Michelle House
Michelle House is an abstract artist with over 20 year’s experience creating unique textile artworks and digital art prints. Her inspiration comes from the patterns and geometry within architecture. As well as the physical mixing and layering of colours, the texture of cloth and the print process.
Michelle House moved from painting and collage on paper to applying the same approach with textiles. Taking photographs and making drawings, she then edits and designs on a computer, before transferring her photographic images to silkscreens.
Michelle uses screens in conjunction with hand-cut stencils as a palette from which to select and build up her final composition. Using imagery and colour in an abstract way to create focal points, balance and space.
The dye’s and pigments, in combinations of transparent and opaque layers, are screen-printed and painted on to differently textured fabrics, which are then meticulously sewn together to make a single piece, or series of related works.
