“Textile Trends,” and exhibit in Melbourne, FL is winding down in the next few days. (The last day is the 27th.) It was the first time Fifth Avenue Art Gallery has had an all-textile call for art, and the resulting show was pretty impressive.
This large weaving was made by Lois Mittleman.
She found LOTS of interesting things to include! Measuring tape and bundles of yarn:
Electronic cables, and an Amazon Prime mailing bag:
Nearby was this fabulous piece by Gabriele DiTota, called Bothered.
The palm is done with cyanotype. Made during the pandemic, she used a serendipitous dyeing technique for the background fabrics and included words like “Fear” and “worry,” reflecting her mindset at the time.
I also liked Moondance, by Doris Hulse.
And here’s a great mixed-media piece from Jo-Ann Jensen.
More images coming soon.
