Working between drawing and paper textile, Bury’s practice explores the delicate potential of translucent and pleated papers. Trained originally in Fine Art Embroidery, she carries the language of textile — gathering, folding, stitching, layering — into works that hover between drawing and object. The result is something both fragile and architectural: surfaces that hold memory, movement, and light.

Her works often begin outdoors. Walking, sketching, observing shifting landscapes and quiet pathways, she gathers fragments of place in small field notebooks. Back in the studio, these studies evolve through charcoal, ink, and pencil, expanding in scale and complexity. Lines accumulate like quiet conversations across the page, echoing journeys taken through land and time.

Living and working in the Cotswold Hills, Bury continues a practice that spans decades — from early work with the pioneering textile collective 62 Group to international exhibitions in drawing and paper art.

Her work invites a slower gaze: pleated landscapes, unfolding like held breath.
