2013 Drawn Threads

14th International Tapestry Triennial, Lodz, Poland

May 6th – November 7th 2013

Drawn Threads is an installation work that explores contemporary lace design. Embedded in a rich cultural history, lace is a source of inspiration for designers through it’s lineage of material production, complexity and inspiration. The lace evokes a living presence in an interior space through a subtle shifting movement. The shadows cast from the installation introduced another dimension to the work, a third space for the viewer to encounter as an ephemeral boundary to cross into and enter.

Drawn Threads was exhibited in the 14th International Tapestry Triennial, Lodz, Poland. Valerie Kirk, Head of Textiles at the Australian National University selected the work as an example of Australian contemporary textile practice. The installation was acquired for their Museum Textile Collection.
