Marilyn Hall
Warwick, UK
Marilyn’s work is conceptual, referencing memory; remembering; bearing witness. Marilyn’s recent works pay particular attention to the lives and roles of women, both from her family history and from research relating to the venues she has exhibited in. The fascination for the artist is in uncovering who they were in life. What were their lives?
Marilyn uses natural materials with hand stitch, embedding cloths with personal meanings. Marilyn also employs weave, dye and fabric sculpture as appropriate to the concept. The slow, gradual process of building the work becomes a time for quiet thought and contemplation. It is the process of making as much as the result that holds the key to personal fulfilment.
