Collection: Aradne

Aradne is a British textile artist. She was born in South Africa and lived on a farm on the outskirts of Johannesburg with her three brothers till she was 8 years old. She now lives in East Sussex on the south coast of England. Her works evoke the magic and the enchantment of the fairytales and fantasy worlds. Her webbed figures and animals although, almost as if tied with thousands of threads, also showcase a sense of fluidity, freedom, and free thinking along with a certain darkness. The figures tell a story, and they magically appear to come alive and emergefrom the fabric the more you look at them. Her works are best enjoyed in person as you can see the embosses, the texture, the complexity of thread work.
