- Architectural collage Sally Wilson
Sally trained as a sculptor at Loughborough College of Art & Design gaining a first class honours degree before acquiring her textile skills through the City and Guilds Embroidery course.
The working methods that she employs are extensive including free machine stitch, drawing and painting techniques and welded metal work.
Drawing is an integral part of Sally’s art practice from observation and development through to the creation of final outcomes. Inspiration often comes from her immediate surroundings; natural through to urban environments and the wildlife which lives within it.
The majority of works Sally produces are event pieces, which allows her to cope with ongoing health challenges resulting from a Traumatic Brain Injury sustained a few years earlier.
In 2016 Sally won the International Hand & Lock prize for Embroidery.
