"Knit, Knot, Weave" is the second exhibition in a series created to examine traditional handicraft materials and techniques in a contemporary art context, to be held at Gallery Lane Cove, on Sydney's Northshore. Knit, Knot, Weave features nine artists working in embroidery, felting, stitching, weaving and crochet, from Sydney and Melbourne. The works are diverse, ranging from small intimate pieces to larger-scale installations, sharing a number of intellectual and aesthetic relationships. Some explore issues of identity and gender; others suggest the underlying process of materiality and making.
Libby Burrell, Alice Brickhill and Erin Morgan have recently graduated from the Sydney College of Fine Arts, UNSW; Paula do Prado, Alex Falkiner and Brook Morgan belong to the Sydney Textile Collective, making and lecturing in textiles; Gabriella Verstraeten and Carly Altree Williams are established artists, living and working in Melbourne, while Pru Gudex works across many mediums, but is particularly fascinated by the tactile process of felting.
The opening night was on Wednesday 13th March with most of the artist there to celebrate with us. Lindie Ward, Curator of Textiles and Lace at the Powerhouse Museum was there to open the exhibition and gave a beautiful speech about the fresh new work on show. The exhibition is open until 28th March and is a great opportunity to see some exciting contemporaneity textiles work.
