Annabel Rainbow, Figurative Quilts

In brief

Much of my work is now in private collections in the UK, Australia, and the US. Four of the ‘Life’ series of quilts remain available for exhibition if required. Currently producing new work for exhibition in 2025.

I enjoy teasing out some knotty concerns using stitch and my work is largely figurative in some form and often features people’s stories using text.  I hope to draw on the long feminine history of quilts to reveal ideas relating to gender, work, inequality, female oppression, and prejudice in all forms to all people.

blog

Drawings in pen and ink and pencil, in A4 size, shrunk and waxed to hang on chains across the top of the piece. I’m taking a break from the drawing to do more research, and […]
