Artist Marita Hewitt’s practice is underpinned by an environmentally conscious ethos, and a sensitive and meticulous approach to materials and processes. Her delicate works explore the syntax of waste, and offer intriguing and often poignant insights into the artist’s own life.
'This Moment Has No End' sees Hewitt working with household fabric waste, transforming timeworn bed sheets, duvets, cloths, and tea towels into beautiful handmade rag paper. Using photographic documentation as reference, she paints immaculate watercolour images on the textured surface of the paper. Hewitt beautifully renders the folds of the fabric; the worn out floral patterns and frayed edges; the paint splatters on an old sheet that became a drop-sheet for home renovations.
