While certain materials are highly specific to a place or time, textiles are universal. The proximity fabrics have to the body, as both protection and comfort, garner textiles with intimate and sentimental associations. Often our primary form of self-expression through fashion, a term with its own multitude of meanings including adornment, identity and modes of being. The endless possibility they pose as a suite of materials offers almost unlimited creative application and potential.
Presented in partnership with the Australian Tapestry Workshop, Interwoven: Fibre Art and Fashion celebrates makers working in all forms of fashion and textiles, including dress, jewellery, photography and fibre art. The common thread within this exhibition is exactly that – all works have been created, and rely upon, thread of some form. Connecting them all is their shared experience as artists in residence at the Australian Tapestry Workshop.
The Australian Tapestry Workshop offers artists and craftspeople working with textiles the chance to broaden their practice in their world-renowned residency program. Each year, Artists in Residence immerse themselves in their vibrant studio – exchanging knowledge and skills with their tapestry weavers and engaging with local communities through the exhibition of their works, artist talks and workshops.
