Sunday just gone, I stumbled upon an exhibition being installed at the
Bribie Island Community Arts Centre entitled
Common Threads. A stunning array of textile artworks from the members of Queensland Spinners, Weavers and Fibre Artists. Very inspiring! As the works we're still being installed, and not wanting to get underfoot, I only managed to get a few snap shots. These images were taken on my trusty iphone to capture a snippet of what is on display and is by no means complete, there were many more works to see celebrating traditional, heritage, and contemporary fibre.
If you happen to be in the area and are into textiles, this show is worth a look!
Detail below, mixed media wall piece by Felicity Clarke,
Out of the Blue (triptych).
The two following artworks below are by Textile Artist, Mary Elizabeth Barron, her works were exhibited at the Cooroy Arts Centre some time ago unfortunately I was unable to see the show, so it was a bonus to see some of her works here.
