ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Within the spun fibres of yarn, the warp and weft of a weaving, the blocks of a quilt and the bond of indigo dye to fabric, textiles hold boundless knowledge, transmitted over generations. The exhibited artists draw on complex histories and rich cultural and personal practices connected to textiles to build sculptural works that move away from the gallery wallTheir techniques span weaving, dyeing, knotting and casting, among other processes. The artworks, created from a variety of organic and manufactured materialsfrom animal fibres and plant material to wire, rubber silicone and plasticfill the gallery from floor to ceiling. The works’ relation to the body, three-dimensional space and evolving technologies stitch together the varied artworks presented in Transmissions.
