Aurore Knight
Aurore Knight is a fibre Artist, inspired by the world as she has experienced it. Her art is a reflection of details she has observed in nature, her emotional state when creating, her wanderings, or a combination of all three.
“I am fascinated by creating artworks that delight our tactile senses and beg to be touched. I feel drawn to designing abstract weaves, full of texture and flowing lines, inspired by the natural world. The wildness of the world intrigues me and I strive to recreate this through my art practice. I love incorporating little hidden details, be it through a pop of colour, exposing a weaves skeleton or adding a pop of glitter amongst all the texture. Weaving is at its heart a slow, meditative and sensory art form and my practice forces me to slow down from our high speed existence. My greatest wish is to create a piece of art where you get lost in the ebb and flow of the shifting lines, where you feel an almost uncontrollable urge to run your hands through it to test the texture your eyes are telling you is there, that brings joy to your life and space, that you will cherish for years to come.”
Born in France, Aurore grew up in Ireland and has lived in France, the UK and the UAE before finally settling in the UK with her husband, three children and two dogs.
