Standing in front of one of Nicola Henley’s textiles is like gazing into a vast landscape. She transports the viewer into the wilderness of her skies and seascapes, through layers of fabric and thread. She mixes intricate details with large-scale colour and texture, creating worlds of expansive energy and emotion, which capture the imagination. Nicola combines the techniques of textile printing and embroidery, joining these crafts in artistic harmony. She has been honing her skills for over thirty years, and has exhibited her work across the world. Her pieces can be found in the collections of the British Crafts Council and the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto.
