Poppykins 'New Beginnings' 23 August to 12 September 2021

 


Poppykins

'New Beginnings'

Textile artist and designer Poppykins, AKA Sam Taylor, has installed this 3 panel mixed media textile piece in The Pocket Gallery.

With crocheted sunflowers in her signature amigurimi style, appliqued over denim panels (drawing parallels with the indigoferin-rich woad and false indigo dye plants grown in the garden) alongside honeycomb shaped patchwork panels and decorative embroidered stitches, this work suggests a garden in high summer, full of bright, bold blooms and buzzing with life.

To find out more about Sam and her work visit her social media pages by clicking on the following links:

Poppykins goods are also stocked in local shops such as Made in Ashford, Canterbury Makers and Made in Folkestone.
