Jackie Langfeld
My work, although
difficult to ascribe to one particular method or style, is closely
connected to the meaning of stitched textile. Each individual piece
employs stitch in a unique way which is entirely appropriate to the
particular idea that I wish to convey.
My current work involves the use of
recycled cardboard and stitch and forms a collection of life sized
'Paper Warriors'. The use of re-cycled cardboard in this collection is
laden with meaning, and images of both refuge and refuse come to mind;
serving as ironic contemporary comment on the contrasts and failings
of our society. The collection, then, attempts to express ideas about
our precarious existence and our perceptions of ourselves and the
things around us.
The creative process, whether drawing, painting or stitching, has been a
life long interest and passion. I have worked diversely in graphic
design, art work for window display and costume and theatrical hire.
More recently I taught City and Guilds Embroidery Certificate and
Diploma at Fareham College in Hampshire alongside a Master class in
experimental embroidery.
