Artist Interview - Cas Holmes

Cas Holmes is a British artist, author and tutor of Romani heritage specialising in textile work with found materials. She trained in fine art and is interested in interdisciplinary projects in community and gallery settings to demonstrate the accessibility of mixed media textile processes. Her practice centres on the use of sustainable materials and themes surrounding issues of identity and place. Research in traditional paper and textile crafts in Japan and India continue to inform her practice and writing (Winston Churchill Fellowship, Japan Foundation Fellowship and Arts Council England Professional Development Award).

She collaborates with organisations and projects on curatorial and community events including the Romani Cultural + Arts Company as a recipient of Gypsy Maker Award and with Craft Scotland on a collaborative exhibition Places, Spaces, Traces; an exploration of the concept of ‘place’ and our understanding of the importance of heritage; how our inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture can impact upon our identities and the space we call ‘home’. This touring exhibition was launched on Light Vessel 21 in Gravesend and with Anna 3 in Antwerp

Her work and projects are reflected in her publications for Batsford the most recent is Embroidering the Everyday (2021)

She is an exhibiting artist with Art Textiles Made in Britain and a member of the Embroiderers Guild UK and the Society for Embroidered Work. The stories and imagery to be found in the everyday and commonplace are a constant source of inspiration for projects and collaborations
