Ptolemy Mann

Since graduating from the Royal College of Art nearly thirty years ago, Ptolemy Mann has striven to develop and build upon her woven textile practice, diversifying into architectural colour consultancy, fashion and interiors fabric design, as seen in her first major solo exhibition at Ruthin in 2011. Since then, she has honed her practice into the unique and extraordinary position that we see now in this exhibition. She is an artist-weaver who has pushed the boundaries of what we perceive to be fine art and textiles.

Since (a long desired) trip to Japan in April 2024, she has been making new work in response to her experience there. The landscape of Kyushu in particular. Vast sweeping bamboo forests, fading blossom and tropical island foliage, the sensuous mud dyed blurring ikats found on Amami Oshima.
