Here at InStitches we enjoy looking at the work of other artists, including those who work outside the world of stitch (yes, they do exist. Strange, but true, there are people who do not sew. Weird!) and one such artist is Cleo Mussi.
Trained at Goldsmiths in the 1980s, ion the Textile Dept., Cleo Massi's interest was in recycled fabrics, knowledge of pattern, print, weave and stitch which translated easily into reclaimed ceramic; she is known for her humorous twists and attention to detail. Cleo Mussi’s exhibitions are often large installations of up one hundred individual elements. The narrative within her work is reflected within the ceramic that she incorporates. She recycles a large proportion of her materials; the combinations of marks and glazes as well as functional forms are combined to produce works whose content whose content reflect design styles and fashions within British ceramic history incorporating aspirations and desire for ornamentation across the classes.
