Marian Jazmik
Bolton, Lancashire, UK
Marian is a contemporary textile artist and keen photographer. Her work is heavily inspired by her macro photography of the natural environment. Images captured on her smartphone from both here and abroad are her inspiration. Along with traditional textile techniques, she exploits the manipulation, construction and deconstruction of fibres and fabrics using a range of heat treatments such as the soldering iron and hot air gun.
Marian’s creative journey evolves through experimentation and the creative outcome is abstract in nature.
She often includes household and DIY products in her work, along with surplus materials left over from various manufacturing processes. These products would normally be sent to landfill. Marian is keen to promote the message of ‘reuse’ and ‘repurpose’ and this is a key feature of her highly textural wall art and sculptural pieces.
Marian is the author of Nature’s Textures in Textile Art published in 2021.
