'Shift Memory' almost finished

Here is a photo taken just after the last roll on, where you can see through the warps to the beginning of the tapestry. I weave with a board immediately behind the weaving, to take away the visual distraction of the warps behind. This is before putting that board back in place. No long to go now. About 12cm.

Progress on 'Shift Memory'

Here is a recent photo of 'Shift Memory' to be part of the Tamworth Textile Triennial in August. Not far to go now, and have decided to make it 1.5m long or wide since I'm weaving it sideways.

And here is a sneak peak behind the loom to see what's been done.

Studio Update

Here is an updated photo of 'Shift Memory' (working title) which will be in the 2nd Tamworth Textile Triennial next year. 80cm wide and only 1.5 metres to go. There is a bit more done than what you can see here. It has started going round the bottom bar and up the back.

In other news Wangaratta Art Gallery has acquired two tapestries from the exhibition 'Reflect' to add to their permanent collection. Here they are:

'Ripple in Aqua' 30x30cm

'Resonance in Ochre' 30x30cm

'Reflect' Workshop

The exhibition is all finished now, and we had a very enjoyable and hopefully informative workshop over the last few days. Here are a few photos.

With Rosemary, Jayne, Hakim and Denise
