In a process of adding and subtracting, masking and revealing, textile artist and designer, Barbara Rogers, incorporates innovative shibori techniques with other traditional resist-dye processes in her unique artworks to create subtly varied patterns and rhythms that work in harmony with the cloth.

As our world is overwhelmed with issues arising from fast fashion / textiles industries, an individual response is to use what we have - repurposing, recycling, circulating existing materials. The idea of making do - using readily available materials for clothing and objects for warmth, protection or to beautify a home has been central to women’s domestic craft practices for centuries and has been central to Williamson’s practice for the past decade. This exhibition shows ‘new’ work created from waste, excess materials, archived designs, old clothes, or other materials.

What can be done with a shirt - any old shirt, a white shirt, a discarded, coloured or patterned; a large or small shirt; worn, torn or damaged shirt; plain, frilly or lightweight or heavy.

In this show Tina Matthews presents kinetic sculptures constructed from found and reworked materials that include steel and copper, wood, silk threads, glassine and shellac. These joyful sculptures perform in any breeze that passes and have a parallel life in the shadows they throw on all surrounding surfaces.
