Cloth Collection Exhibition

Today I have finished putting up my solo exhibition of textile work.
The exhibition is called Cloth Collection and guess what its about - yes CLOTH !
What else could you expect from a textile lover?
Heres a few photos for you to peruse.






Cloth Collection is essentially about Cloth - which we take so much for granted every day of our lives. But it can have this amazing presence and is so important to us in all its guises.
Some of the 14 pieces are simply a look at how we manipulate and decorate fabrics and other pieces are personal reflections and recollections of cloth that has been part of my own life. One of my aims for the work was to enable the viewer - you, to remember perhaps long forgotten memories about your own lives through cloth.





The exhibition is on for one month 2nd Nov - 2nd Dec at UCMK, University Centre MIlton Keynes, Bucks, UK. The private view is on Thursday 11th Nov 6.30. So if you get the chance please come along.
And of course I had to include a very ART Art doll.

This is my piece.

'Once upon a Time'

Its a silk textile piece, quilted and painted.

Looks like ceramic, but it really is fabric.

Its based on strata layers and has lots of fossils (including human bits) stitched into the silk.

The top panel has mobile phones and computors pictured - what will they find of us in a million years time?

The exhibition is on from end of Jan until the 29th Feb 09 and is at art-works, Great Linford, Milton Keynes.

Come along and see some excellent work by the good tutors at the college.
