HOMELANDS
28th February to 25th March 2004

an exhibition of new work from members of the group FIBRE.ART.WALES

‘Homelands’ is FIBRE.ART.WALES’ second major touring exhibition. The exhibition will feature the work of contemporary fibre artists who are living and working in Wales, or who are of Welsh birth working outside Wales. Fourteen members will be showing work in a broad range of fibre/textile media, including knit, collage, weaving, stitch, embroidery, dying and painting, felt, paper, wire and manipulation of materials in a variety of ways.

‘Homelands‘ is a follow-on to our first touring exhibition ‘FIBRE VISIONS’ which received popular and critical acclaim.

HOMELANDS; the title of the exhibition indicates the theme. The research into ’HOMELANDS’ which inspired the membership, is expansive and diverse, they include; natural materials and resources familiar to Wales - such as slate, coal, steel, wool and tin, developing and using these materials with new techniques in individual ways, geographical explorations, Welsh heritage and culture, personal inward experiences and invocation of Celtic myth and tradition. Most of the exhibitors are exploring the media of fibre itself, using it in a innovative and imaginative way.
