St Martin-in-the-Fields is home to several commissions and permanent installations by contemporary artists. We also have an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, as well as a group of artists and craftspeople from the St Martin’s community who show artwork and organise art projects on a temporary basis. One of the initiatives from this group is a changing display of work by the group members or artists linked to the group. Each month a different artist shows examples of their work, so, if you are able, do return to see the changing display.
Sue McKay has been drawing and painting from an early age. She trained and worked as an architect. In more recent years she has been making textile art. This combines her love of stitch and fabric with texture and colour. She is a member of Thirteen Textile Group which exhibits together annually at the Waterloo Action Centre.
These four pieces are taken from two series based on different themes. ‘Intersection’ and ‘Junction’ are inspired by an aerial photograph of a sweeping motorway intersection. ‘Feeling’ and ‘Stitched’ are a response to the idea that the surface reveals hidden secrets which lie beneath.
Sue is married to Alastair McKay, curate at St Martin-in-the-Fields. They live in north London.
Proceeds of all sales will go in their entirety to support St Martin-in-the-Fields’ HeartEdge network.
