Christine Davson-Galle  
    "Wearable Art"

Christine Davson-Galle is one of the most positive, energetic and creative people one could hope to meet. At three days' notice she arrived with a huge collection of beautiful garments - but not just "garments" ... each is a unique work of art, lovingly designed, patterned and hand-stitched by this artist. All manner of found vegetation - leaves, seeds, grasses , flowers coming from her own garden and the countryside around her home, is immaculately arranged on top-quality fabric (either pure wool, or fine silk  .. and in one case, even a nearly transparent organza made from both wool and silk!) and lovingly processed to produce these stunning  pieces. Each one is born of Christine's constant joy in her environment, her immpeccable taste in pattern and colour and her tireless experimentation with process.
