Mr Finch

Mr finch is a textiles artist living and working in Leeds who specialises in textile sculptures of both flora and fauna.

Mr finch started making his pieces after years of exploration over series of different media until he found his forte in sewing and creating sculptural pieces.
My finch is heavily inspired by nature and his surroundings often taking inspiration from creatures found in his local area as sometimes even fairytales. He likes to think of his work as characters from his own story and imagines them coming alive. He often makes some of his pieces very human dressing animals in human cloathes creating similar figures to that of the wind and the willows franchise.

He likes to use found materials and often gets his fabric from vintage stores and charity shops transforming the unwanted into unusual creatures and flora, often focusing on the ethical side of textile art.

Here are a series of links to Mr Finch's website and blog showing his works and his development towards creating his works-
