November exhibition

    

 

One of the pleasures of textiles is its sheer diversity. The different skills each artist brings, their geographical location and their choice of subject matter are such disparate factors that each artist is capable of creating something truly unique. Hopefully this November exhibition illustrates just that.

While Textile Curator mainly features textile artists, this month we interviewed Steven Vasquez Lopez who uses textiles as his subject. A quick glance at his work makes the viewer think it is a woven fabric, but closer inspection reveals it is hand drawn lines on paper representing the fabric of life. Read more about his fascinating journey.

Textiles are often tactile pieces yet Edith Meusiner takes it one step further by installing her work outdoors making it part of natural landscape. Seeing it in images can only capture part of the effect of the weather and surroundings on her pieces which use the rarely seen technique of Spranging. The countryside also plays a part in Pauline Burbidge’s quilts and wall hangings. Pauline’s career has spanned decades and she has carefully honed her experience and talent to make her one of the leading quilters of today.
