SUMMARY:Australia Naturally
DESCRIPTION:Open Wednesday – Sunday\n19th August – 28th August 2009\n10am – 4pm \nOpening Saturday 22 August at 2pm by international shibori artist Barbara Schey \nA glorious exhibition of small shibori works created exclusively by World Shibori Network Australia members\, as a showcasing of their use of natural and synthetic dyes. These works have recently been on exhibition in Paris as part of the 7th International Shibori Symposium at the Musee Quai Branly.  Curated by Joan James \nBarbara Rogers\nPaddington New South Wales  Australia \n \nTitle: Cast Adrift 1\nDescription: Black (commercially dyed) silk  organza. Shibori de- coloured (with Thioureau dioxide) stitched\,  cut. \nArtist Statement\nBarbara Rogers has had her own  design label since 1980 she has exhibited extensively and her work has been  acquired for national and international private and public  collections. \nBarbara’s work has been included in  over 130 group exhibitions and 19 major exhibitions including the  USA\, Finland\, Japan\, China\, Germany and Belgium. \nBarbara’s work can be found in  Memory on Cloth shibori now\, by Yoshiko Iwamoto  Wada. \nNo 15 A\nBarbara Schey\nNormanhurst New South Wales Australia \n \nTitle: I  Still Call Australia  Home\nDescription:  Habutai and organza silks dyed using  Yellow Box\, Nicholli\, Privet and Orchil Lichen\, vegetable dyes and arashi  and miura shibori techniques. \nArtist Statement\nBarbara Schey has been passionate about textiles all her life.  She has exhibited and sold widely  both in Australia and overseas and is  constantly pushing the boundaries of new techniques for her range of  garments and art pieces.  Bright  colours feature in her work. \nTextiles are  a very tactile experience for Barbara\, consequently the many ways one can  manipulate the cloth in shibori techniques to achieve new and exciting  outcomes are sheer joy.  She has  studied the “high tech” methods used in Japan and adapted them for her  home studio.  Barbara originally  became involved in textiles through spinning and weaving and subsequently\,  dyeing.  Her jackets are of  simple construction to focus on the dyeing or manipulation of the  fabric.  Her  favourite shibori techniques  are Arashi and Miura (which she ties whilst traveling).  Examples of Barbara’s work are shown  on “http://www.shibori.org/” member’s profiles. \nNo 9A\nRommie Gerber-Reddington.\nMoruya New South Wales Australia \n \nStudio: Char – Art\nTitle: Remnants of a Bushfire\nDescription: Layers of wool and silk\, upper layer  recycled wool blanket dyed with black wattle bark\, mustard burnished\, back ground layer crunched silk\, shiboried and dyed with black rice and mulberry  syrup. \nArtist Statement\nRommie is constantly experimenting with the combination of ancient and ethnic art and  craft  techniques and modern  technology. \nHer preferred  materials are natural fibres such as Silks\, Cotton\, Linen\, Hemp and Wool. \nThese fabrics are  manipulated with all aspects of surface design. \nIn her 2D\, 3D  and installations pieces components of recycled textiles\, fibres and  collectables are prominently featured. \nThe two shibori panels “From Above” and “Remnants of a Bushfire” have been created using various methods of  textile manipulation and surface design. Textures and colours reflect the  harshness and raw beauty of the Australian bush. Every aspect of the  displayed work represents the Australian way of life which Rommie is so fond of. \nNo 6A\nPhilomena Hali\nAlice  Springs NT Australia \n \nStudio: Oz Textiles\nTitle: Ancient Forms  1\nDescription: Kumo Shibori resist\, puff ball  (fungus) dyed silks: paj\, silk net\, silk organza\, silk cocoons opened and  cleaned eucalyptus dye & puff ball. \nArtist Statement\nIn 2004 I was the recipient of  Tribute to Northern Territory Women “for contribution to NT Arts &  Crafts and as a Volunteer”. \nI have lived and worked in  Alice Springs for the last 21 years with my  husband and four children. My practice consisted of Fibre and textiles – now  more Textiles than fibre – however both are often integrated into my  work. \nSince arriving in Alice – I became a  member of Territory Craft – now Central Craft and began tutoring on an  annual basis\, workshops in Traditional basket making\, Fabric painting &  printing\, Natural and Synthetic dyeing methods\, Shibori/Japanese tie dye\,  Silk fusion\, Felt making & Mud dyeing. \nMy work is represented in  collections such as the Alice Craft Acquisition\, Griffith Museum\, Adelaide Museum\, Museum of the Northern Territory  and several current national touring exhibitions. \nMy work continues to evolve in Central Australia\, I’m very passionate about what I do  and enjoy sharing through the teaching process. What I create is influenced  by where I live.

SUMMARY:LINEN HANGINGS by BARBARA ROGERS
DESCRIPTION:I use a traditional resist-dyeing process of pattern making\, known in Japan as shibori. This traditional shibori is combined with contemporary design and influences such as the colours and patterns of African textiles. \n“Linen Hangings”   3 x 230cms x 66cms \nArtist’s statement\nBarbara Rogers is a textile designer\, based in Sydney\, with over 20 years experience in textile design and fashion. She has developed unique contemporary methods from Japanese techniques for dyeing and surface design; In particular shibori techniques using a range of dyes produce unique visual effects on fabrics and leathers. She has also incorporated various printmaking methods such as linocuts\, wood blocks and photography into her work as well as utilising sewing and stitching. Her work draws much of its inspiration from Japanese shibori techniques; twentieth and twenty first century western textiles as well as design from historical and contemporary African textiles. \nRogers has exhibited nationally and internationally. In 2005 Rogers was invited to exhibit in ARTWEAR Fashion and Anti-fashion at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco\, accompanied by a full colour catalogue. She was the inaugural winner of the Dame Mary Durack Contemporary Award in Leather and her work is represented in Yoshiko Wada’s Memory on cloth – shibori now\, 2002\, the definitive publication on contemporary international work in shibori\, as well as the recently published Fibrearts Design Book 7. \nIn 2004\, Barbara Rogers initiated an exhibition Marks and Memory -contemporary artists respond to the traditions of Japanese shibori textiles\, at Fairfield City Museum and Gallery\, Sydney. The exhibition involved four textile artists\, each working in a different medium\, and four other artists who work with metals\, clay\, paper\, inks and light-sensitive solutions. Each artist was asked to consider the potential offered by shibori within his or her chosen materials and field of expertise.

SUMMARY:Cheap Chips
DESCRIPTION:Cheap chips and the forests of the Styx and Upper Florentine Valleys in Tasmania\nMay 17 – June 28\, 2009\nCatherine Rogers \nThese photographs of two of Tasmania’s unique\, pristine\, ancient\, remnant rainforests date from 2003. The aim of this ongoing project is to picture the tall trees of these great forests together with the understorey trees and plants\, fungi\, lichens\, mosses and the forest landscape\, before all is destroyed forever by clearfell logging and the activities associated with establishing quick-money\, fast-growing plantation forests in place of the original old-growth forests.

SUMMARY:Naturally
DESCRIPTION:My work all begins with threads\, which I weave into cloth. Originally I was trained in traditional woven technique\, which led me to weave functional fabrics in natural fibers for many years. \nMost recently\, my career has been defined by the discovery and exploration of the woven shibori process. Woven shibori transforms a traditional stitched resist into one that conjoins with a woven structure. It results in fabrics that completely integrate weaving\, dyeing and surface application\, providing a new freedom in fabric design. Woven shibori continues to challenge all that I know about weaving and has led me to investigate new materials\, resists\, dyes and finishing processes. \nThis group of work reflects my current exploration of Jacquard design and industrial weaving. I have partnered with The Oriole Mill\, a small Jacquard mill in Hendersonville\, North Carolina\, USA. Instead of hand-weaving these fabrics\, I have developed designs that are woven to my specifications on an industrial Jacquard loom using high quality pima cottons. After the fabric is removed from the loom the cloth is processed and dyed by hand in my home studio. \nAll fabrics in this collection use only natural colorants: either dyes or pigments. Issues of safety for the global and my own personal environment have led me to seriously explore the natural colorants. The use of mordants to alter single color dyes and the availability of natural dye extracts and pigments makes this a feasible approach to coloring cloth. \nCatharine Ellis

SUMMARY:Lamba and Lambamena
DESCRIPTION:Lamba and Lambamena \nShawls and Shrouds of Madagascar \nCollected by Lenore Blackwood on a recent journey to the Malagasy Republic \nTextiles have long been very  important in Malagasy culture and gifts of cloth have played a leading role in diplomacy\, ceremonial occasions\, courtship\, marriage and funeral rites. \nThe word ‘lamba’ means cloth and ‘lambamena’ red cloth\, but not necessarily the colour red as red refers to associations with the ancestors and today lambamena may denote any cloth used as a shroud. \nTraditionally a lamba and a lambamena was handwoven from wild silk and many still are today. \nWeavings in this exhibition/sale are mostly of wild silk or mulberry silk or a mixture of both. \n*  *  * \nGallery B \nSelection of textiles and jewellery collected on other journeys in Africa\, Asia and Latin America \n*  *  * \nPreview Thursday 19 March 5.30 to 8.00 pm \nThen daily except Monday from Friday 20 March till Sunday 29 March. Weekdays and Saturday 11.00 am to 5.30pm\, Sundays 12.00 to 4.00 pm. \nRegrettably\, credit card facilities will not be available. Payment can be made by bank transfer or cash. \nLenore at home (02) 9572 9487  elembee@hotkey.net.au

SUMMARY:Image Object
DESCRIPTION:  \nIMAGE ↔ OBJECT \nI work in textile and product design\, focussing on knitted felt clothing and soft furnishings.  I use photography as a resource tool and to document work.  In this exhibition however\, I have used it as the prime medium.  The objects in this exhibition have evolved from a collection of photographic images\, predominantly textures\, which have been taken at the point at which ‘the eye falls’. \nThe shapes of the majority of objects in the exhibition have been drawn from shells found on the beach.  The objects have been formed by cutting stitching and glueing  flat sheets of paper printed with repeat images of building facades\, and textures found in the natural environment. They take the form of dresses\, hats\, bags and vessels. \nThe printed images represent that point in the design process\, at which application of material is considered: How will this surface behave as the skin of the object it represents.  It is the ‘skin’ of that object that lures the viewer.  More than just a trap for the eye\, the printed image also prompts meaning when applied to the object.  For example\, the building facades conjure up the idea of order imposed by the human architect; natural textures convey a different response. \nI wanted to show how an idea or emotion is held by reason and order and in the apparent function of the object.  I embrace contradiction and allow the textures to evoke or stand in for other materials.  I have titled the works from this perspective – for example\, ‘Dress\, Shibori-dyed silk’\, tho clearly there is no silk present.  The texture of a red leaf stands in for the coloured silk.  The red leaf reflects the visceral quality of its surface\, the structural lines appear like veins and the colours appear to bleed into one another as in the traditional dyeing techniques of shibori. \nAnother work\, using an image of moss\, is titled ‘Dress\, torn silk stitched ’.   The moss has grown on the broken pattern of the bark suggesting torn or frayed edges\, or a ceramic glaze adhering to the pattern of a rough clay surface. In the textures created by the moss and leaf image\, there is the sense of the surface breaking down.  The two images taken in the natural environment evoke a surface of seemingly random patterning. \nIn contrast\, most of the images of building facades evoke surface materials which are uniform and firm in structure\, i.e. ‘wool plaid suiting’ or ‘metal inlay’.  There is one however where stripes are formed in the image\, suggesting the ‘soft’ striping created by fusing glass strips.   But as in the natural world there is an element of controlled chaos\, of cause and effect. \nThe scale of the objects also ask consideration\, ie. building or hat?  The ‘hat’ could easily be a prototype for the shell of a building.  The works hover somewhere between abstraction and representation.  The images conjure up an idea or possibility\, but are not necessarily what they appear to be.  The objects exist in that moment before the surface finally ‘fits’ the form and its function and therefore allows more consideration as to what the final outcome might be. \nPeta Jones
