Lace Geometries, a new body of six contemporary lace works, was exhibited in the Wangaratta Contemporary Textiles Awards, Wangaratta Regional Gallery, Victoria (13 June–26 July 2015). The exhibition was linked to a textile symposium hosted by the gallery. This work is part of ongoing research-by-design investigation into the possibilities of contemporary lace and surface decoration. The work was developed out of a collaboration with Master Embroiderer Ashok Ladiwal, whose studio is based in Vrindhavan, India. I spent 3 weeks working with Ashok and his artisans developing contemporary interpretations of a traditional Indian long stitch. These investigations combine technical and aesthetic innovation through a combination of complex textile processes. In these works the long stitch normally reserved for Indian deities/temples has been reinterpreted into bold geometric patterning. The embroidery has been stitched onto an unconventional open lace structure dyed with eucalyptus. The outcome of these unique combinations creates textile designs that stand alone in their field. Wangaratta Contemporary Textiles Awards exhibition is established as a pre-eminent event in the field of contemporary textile practice. Lace Geometries was selected as a finalist for the award by a selection committee of leading senior professionals from the design, education and museum sectors including Katie Sommerville, Senior Curator, Fashion & Textiles, National Gallery of Victoria. The work has since been included in a publication on Ashok Ladiwal designed by the respected fashion photographer Robyn Beeche. |
