Matthew Larson’s exhibition

   

 

Textile Art comes in many different forms and American artist Matthew Larson uses a technique we haven’t seen before on Textile Curator.

Although his beautifully details pieces look woven they are in fact created by aligning strands of yarn onto velcro. This painstaking process results in an optical illusion effect as the fibres of the acrylic yarns reflect the light differently making some of the colours visually recede or protrude. You can see more of Matt’s work at the Rule Gallery in Denver until November 7th.

Woven Stories

The collection of fabrics so far for Woven Stories.

 

Australian textile artist Angela McIntosh is now based in Canada, and like many artists she wasn’t able to access her studio during the lock down. Wanting to do something positive during the pandemic she developed a collective project called Woven Stories. “In essence I am asking people to reconnect with memories that are held within the comfort of cloth and then I am bringing together and celebrating these memories and connections with other contributors,” she explains. 

To take part you need to submit a photo and short narrative of why the fabric is important to you. To date the project comprises of a wide range of fabrics from all over the world including a wedding dress, an Afghan thrown and a vintage quilt. Once the digital project has closed, Angela will transform the images into a physical artwork, with the aim of exhibiting the digital contributions in tandem with the physical translation. The website will remain as a record and repository for people to visit.
