Lesley Johnson

I am a print and textile artist living in Lancashire, alongside my home studio I work out of Hot Bed Press in Manchester as a member of the Reveal print group. As a textile artist with a deep-rooted passion for patchwork and quilting my artistic exploration is a fusion of tradition and innovation, honouring the age-old artistry of quilting while embracing the boundless possibilities offered by traditional printmaking techniques.

I feel the organic qualities of shape, stitch and texture work together to create a balance which I incorporate into my print techniques to convey a delicateness to my imagery. I enjoy deconstructing geometric shapes and re-balancing the form within squares and rectangles as either a Collagraph or Etched on zinc plate before adding a layer of chine-collé to accentuate the colour and texture, this allows combinations of imagery to be developed that can be repeated or act as a standalone image.
