Sue Lawty's "hand-woven art is at once intensely personal and human, but imbued with a spirituality which is reminiscent of medieval tapestries. There is a strong sense of prehistory in Lawty's work, the timeless quality of survival, which does not set out to reveal that which is invisible, but rather allows us to consider carefully the significance of each subtle layer of the indecipherable."
