Otorohanga Artbeat
This weekend is Otorohanga artbeat, A celebration of local art music and creativity. This is my exhibition - similar to the Waitomo one. Once again I had people ask me why I did not submit the eco coat to WOW and I had to explain that it was too conservative for what the World of Wearable Art was looking for.
This is the last of my exhibitions for a little while so now I need to think about new work to produce.
It was a wonderful display with art work and some arts being demonstrated on site with music in the old church building. Making muka for Maori weaving was especially interesting. Below are some of the offerings that took my eye
Congratulations Rebecca on a superb offering.
What is my current Textile Focus
My interest in textile art is wide and varied. My focus at the moment is on completing panels for my scholarship project Parallels in Maori and Celtic customs and art. I am currently working on a Tromp L’oeil piece that represents the Winter solstice coming through a gap in the hills that was important to both cultures in mapping their seasonal world. the centre piece is hand embroidered and now I am trying to complete the effect of adding small pieces fabrics to create the effect I am looking for
