Artist focus: Penny Leaver green
This month, we are spotlighting Penny Leaver Green, an English textile artist renowned for her landscapes crafted from repurposed silk kimonos. Penny’s artistic process is deeply intuitive, allowing materials to guide the narrative of each piece, often exploring themes of memory and place.
Her latest series, ‘Seasonal Ikebana’, draws inspiration from the Japanese art of flower arranging, blending the transient beauty of nature with her signature tactile aesthetic. Using hand-dyed and vintage fabrics, Penny reinterprets the harmony and balance of ikebana into strikingly modern textile compositions.
These works encapsulate her ongoing dialogue with Japanese culture, a recurring influence throughout her career. You can read ‘An Interview with Penny Leaver Green’ to learn more about her inspirations and unique techniques.
