Artist Statement
Uncommon Threads is a collaborative group exhibition of textile artists from Victoria. The exhibition will showcase progressive art forms using textiles and exploring the relationship of textiles to other art disciplines. Our goal is to provide a contemporary exhibition exploring the limitlessness of textile art.
Uncommon Threads will raise awareness of contemporary textile arts to the general public, bringing artists together to build their artistic ability and introduce them to new audiences. The exhibition will highlight textile artists and the quality of their work. Artists at all stages of their career will be included enabling opportunities for mentorship and collaboration. The exhibition showcases innovative works, using a range of materials and techniques that challenge and subvert traditional ideas of textile art.
