A contemporary mixed media artwork combining hand-cut textile and paint, creating a tactile, sculptural surface that shifts with light and perspective.
Gathered Together is the fourth work in Suzanne Carter’s Woven Collection, a series exploring connection, diversity and the quiet strength found in unity.
Softly gathered fabric forms meet across the canvas, converging in a series of sculptural knots that anchor the composition. Shades of deep pink, ivory and charcoal stretch and fold toward one another, creating both tension and harmony. The gathered forms appear independent yet interconnected, symbolising the way individual identities come together to form something stronger as a whole.
The composition celebrates contrast — colour, direction and movement — while remaining balanced and calm. Each gathered point becomes a moment of connection, reflecting the idea that diversity does not divide; it enriches.
Created using carefully layered coloured textiles integrated with paint, the surface holds depth, movement and subtle variation. While the composition follows a considered design, no two works are ever identical — each carries its own unique shifts in texture, placement and energy.
Bold in scale yet refined in tone, this piece brings architectural texture and emotional resonance to contemporary interiors.
