Vanessa Rolf in G9’s work focuses on historical narratives, journeys, maps and the physical exploration of landscape. Her textiles relate stitch, texture and composition to maps and documentary photographs but also aim to capture the essence of a place. She looks to the relationships between geography, mapping of movement and the recorded experience of a place.
For Open Studios Vanessa will be showing Poems to the sea, an ongoing series of textile works exploring the notions of memorial and inheritance.
