Nature In Art
Tuesday 1st July 2008 - Sunday 31st August 2008
Nature in Art, Wallsworth Hall, Main A38, Twigworth, Gloucester, GL2 9PA.
The exhibition at Nature in Art represented another new challenge for this group of textile artists who are at the forefront of exploring and challenging conventional views of textile art and embroidery.
| ||
Textiles were seen in an outdoor environment in the garden throughout July and August 2008. They were accompanied by a gallery exhibition from August 12th until the end of the month.
Each member of the group explored themes related to the natural world and the re-use of materials each in their own way. As the audience walked round the gardens a map guided them to find such things as nests, deck chairs, mosaics, and a Thimble Tree. Themes developed included numbering systems found in nature and lichen as a bio-indicator of dioxins in the atmosphere. Materials used included felt to create the texture of footpaths, organdie echoing the forms of trees, recycled paper and junk mail reclaimed and manipulated into dress forms.
