GATHERING
15th August- 31st October 2009
An exhibition by Susan Kane in Calico Angel at
Holm
Whether gathering family and friends for tea or
gathering beautiful 1960's coffee pots, curious objects or
lovely old picture frames from flea-markets, they are all things
that inspire me... so after gathering my thoughts I have produced a
collection of pictures which tell of happy arrangements of pattern,
image and line.
Recognizing the complimentary nature of their work, Susan Kane & Clinton Pilkington created ‘Calico Angel at Holm’ in April 2003, placing Clinton’s contemporary wood furniture & lighting range and Susan’s paintings, screens and interior pieces into a modern living room space. Their bespoke option enables customers to commission the highest quality individually created work, where the only limitation is their imagination! Welcoming commissions & browsers alike, come along & be inspired by their elegant, urban solutions for your home.
Clinton Pilkington originally established Holm at Manchester Craft & Design Centre after graduating in Fine Art & Sculpture at Salford University. Harnessing his exuberant artistic style with the skills and traditional methods of construction, he creates exciting modern furniture for a market often lacking individuality, at an affordable price.
Susan Kane graduated from Manchester University with a 1st Class Hons degree in Textile Design, working extensively in the fashion & furnishing industries before establishing 'Calico Angel Textile Designs' here. Her enviable portfolio of clients includes Mary Quant, Monsoon, DKNY, & Ralph Lauren. Susan’s paintings & decorative pieces are inspired by her business trips to New York, Tokyo & Paris and the artefacts of these cities. The baroque architecture & subdued colours of Paris, the shimmering glass towers of New York & the traditionalism of Japan combine to provide a rich & unique mix of source material.
