  3. "Alice Kettle is a contemporary textile/fibre artist based in the UK. She has established a unique area of practice by her use of a craft medium, consistently and on an unparalleled scale. The scale of her work belies their component parts: individual tiny stitches, which combine to form great swathes of colour, painterly backgrounds incorporating rich hues and metallic sheen

  4. Kettle extended the possibilities of machine embroidery: producing works the size of tapestries, exploiting the textures and effects made possible through the harnessing of a mechanical process to intuitive and creative ends.

  5. “My work evokes moments in our lives. It is of people and glimpses of stories which mark themes in our very existence. Some are reminiscent works which reference mythology and story telling, using the line of thread to connect relationships and define emotions such as suffering, hope and renewal.”

  6. The figures which inhabit the work explore relationships, as do the threads, one placed next to or on top of another. The fabric and the image held together by stitch, express the emotional connection, the sense of touch, texture, and feelings, those emotive sensations which textiles provoke and express within their fabric. Changes in direction in the hatching and stitching add to the relationship with light touching and settling on the surface.

Reminiscent works which reference mythology and storytelling, using the line of thread to connect relationships and define emotions such as suffering, hope and renewal. These are the punctuations which reveal the sense of self and identity, the making of connections between the touching and tactile quality of textile, and the expression of feelings
