Issue Three | Parham’s Rich Tapestry

“This particular period has a truth and simplicity that isn’t over-refined. To me it’s the embroideries; they don’t take themselves very seriously… it’s that naivety and purity of response to the material and the moment that is truly inspiring.” Kate Malone, Artist

View our short film to meet Kate Malone, artist, and Simon Martin, Director of Pallant House Gallery, as they reflect on the surface ornamentation and creative techniques employed throughout the centuries.
