Cas Holmes

Cas Holmes is mixed media artist who works with textiles, paper and found materials. Her particular interest is the link between the built and natural environment (Urban/Nature) and issues relating to sustainable practice.

She create works for public and private settings and have pieces in collections around the world, including the Museum of Art and Design in New York, Arts Council England and the Sir Leonard Cheshire Foundation.

The often overlooked things of daily life and observations of the land inform my work. Connecting paint, mark and image I reflect the ‘hidden edges’ of our landscape, verges, field edges and wild spaces, ‘stitch sketching’ to capture a moment before it is gone.

She exhibits in the U.K and abroad and enjoy working on collaborations and installations with other artists. This includes a recent installation, Curiouser and Curiouser at Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery and workshops in Europe and Australia. Her book ‘The Found Object in Textile Art’, (published by Batsford 2010), looks at some of the processes.
