Fruits of the Loom: An Exploration of Contemporary Textiles
Fruits of the Loom invites you to delve into the vibrant and evolving world of contemporary textile art. This exhibition showcases the extraordinary breadth and depth of a medium that continues to push boundaries, blending traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics and expert craftmanship. From intricate weaving and elaborate embroidery to works of fashion and design the artists featured in this exhibition demonstrate the boundless possibilities of working with textiles.
Textile art is currently thriving within our local art scene and Fruits of the Loom aims to bolster the medium as an important (though long overlooked) artform. Hours and hours of meticulous work goes into creating the pieces on display however the Western art canon has long downplayed the practice as a trivial pursuit of women. We hope you will see why these works deserve to be held on the same pedestal as the finest paintings and sculptures.
Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of this artform at the opening night celebration:
Friday 4th July, 6 - 8.30pm
