Geraldine Festenstein

London, UK

Geraldine is a textile artist who visually attempts to communicate her excitement at unearthing the intriguing elemental forms that she may make from daily marks, musings and tracings on scraps of paper, in her diaries, lists and notebooks. She strives to share this treasure trove of discoveries in a process that is spontaneous and immediate.

Geraldine uses interdisciplinary processes to create one-off pieces and more recently these works seem to be leaving the safety of their surfaces. Techniques may vary but consistent is layering of materials with hand or machine stitch. Wire is a satisfying material and calico a favourite fabric. Geraldine may work with print, ink, paint, collage, knotting and wrapping.
