David Tudge
David's woven and machine knitted textiles the reflect line, movement and form of water.
“The journey of a river and the changes that occur along the way has always interested me. I look at maps, follow rivers across the pages, then run walk and cycle these routes”.
He creates structures that are woven on a loom or knitted on a knitting machine and then manipulated to give a three dimensional piece. The work is unique in its structure, technique and style. It has a fluid peaceful quality that resonates an echo of nature, balanced with a modern twist.
