‘Texere’, to weave, gives meaning to the words textile and text. Words are woven together to construct a sentence as yarns are woven together to make fabric.
This exhibition presents artists who incorporate stories and words into their work while exploring the boundaries of their materials. Traditional crafts such as embroidery, quilting, natural dyeing, patchwork and knitting are both celebrated and subverted to feel relevant in the contemporary landscape.
Textiles have a rich and long history across all continents and people. ‘Texere’ explores the voice of today’s artists within this context while reinforcing the gentle strength and power held within textiles.
FELT’s curation of contemporary artists and antique sourced fabrics alongside The Peanut Vendor’s vintage furniture creates an inspiring space rich in detail, texture and design.
Artists include Amata Benedict, Andrew Pierce Scott, Alice Burnhope, Candice Crotet, Eliza Hopewell, Graham Hollick, Joke Amusan, Leonie Cameron, Liv Enqvist and Vicky Pylorides.
