dc.description.abstract |
Wamberal is a lace installation that is part of an ongoing practice led enquiry into alternative ways to create contemporary lace. It was selected as a finalist in the Wangaratta Contemporary Textiles Awards, Victoria. The judging panel consisted of leading Australian curators and design academics. The exhibition has gained national recognition as a national textile survey show and is a biannual event in the textile calendar. It is linked to a catalogue, national symposium and artist talks. Key curators visit the event from major galleries such as the National Gallery of Victoria. |

Wamberal is a lace installation that is part of an ongoing practice led enquiry into alternative ways to create contemporary lace. It was selected as a finalist in the Wangaratta Contemporary Textiles Awards, an exhibition that has increasingly gained recognition for its national survey of the field. This research explores unique production techniques and textile innovations through digital print technologies, machine stitching and soluble substrates and aims to provide a platform to explore cultural narrative in the field of Australian contemporary textiles. The lace is designed from an active experience and documentation of the landscape of the NSW north coast. It draws on an Australian preoccupation with our relationship to geography and memory of place. Through a digital print process lace, coral specific to the NSW coast has been designed as lace pattern. Through a process of abstraction a unique aesthetic and texture has been created that departs from traditional floral motifs associated with lace. It pays homage to the tradition of abstract painting in Australia and is a departure from the high decorative style associated with traditional lace design. The significance of this research is its technical innovation. It combines hand and digital technologies as a means to refine alternative lace production. The work was selected as a finalist in the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award through a peer review process. It was also selected as part of the One Night Stand series of exhibitions at the Damien Minton Gallery, Chippendale |
