Finally here are some pictures of my work showing in the “Connecting Currents” exhibition at Wanneroo Gallery. The exhibition is part of the wider “Indian Ocean Craft Triennial” with the theme “Curiosity & Ritual of the Everyday”. For the set of pieces shown above my theme was tea and coffee; an everyday ritual for many people around the World.
These pieces are either Gelli® printed on fabric and stitched or needle felted.
I also had pieces in the group show by 84 Contemporary Textiles. For this section I concentrated on the Indian Ocean and it’s inhabitants. These pieces use either silk paper, needle felting or both combined with stitch.
We also had a group poem piece. My words were “the waves” and are needle felted.
The West Australian Quilters Association also had a group display of quilts based on the everyday life at Cockman House in the City of Wanneroo. My piece near the centre depicts the shoes, the Coolgardie safe (olden-days fridge), the panels in the shed and the log slices on the floor. Its quilted first and then painted with acrylics.
