The recent “Textile Trends” exhibit, in Melbourne, FL included some very interesting pieces. This “oddball” dress was made with staples. I think it’s wacky and wonderful!
It’s called A Woman Prerogative (signage spelling,) by Lydia Friedland. Just check out this detail shot!
I loved the hand stitching on this small piece.
It’s called Wabi Sabi Red, by Grace Cormier.
Here’s another small piece, with intentionally rusted fabric. And, again, great hand stitching. It’s called Satin Ruins by Judith Schwab.
My off-kilter photography doesn’t quite do justice to this piece. It was made by Esta Rubin and is titled The Rising of the Dark.
And, finally, my own piece – in the corner – called Miscommunication.
There were some growing pains with this first-ever-textile-show for the gallery. But, I hope they’ll offer it again. There’s clearly plenty of great art to show off!
