Crossed, Discarded, Folded
An exhibition of rare prints made from textiles in the 1960s by artist and weaver Ann Sutton, displaying a series of lithographs made in 1969/1970 by artist and weaver
Ann Sutton. The lithographs have rarely been shown, having been carefully stored by Ann for over fifty years. They are beautiful images relating to Ann’s work with textiles. The lithographs were made by dropping textile items directly on to the printing plates.
"I took my items; pair of ‘fully fashioned’ stockings, knitted pieces, and later a string vest to the printers and put then directly onto the plates. One stocking I put on my leg and peeled it off, in prostitute fashion, dropping it directly from leg to plate”. Ann Sutton 2023.
The prints come directly from Ann Sutton’s archive and all the prints are available for sale.
