'Fibreworks VIII' - National Fibreworks Exhibition

Various Artists at artSPACE durban

Here exhibited is 'Fibreworks VIII', a national exhibition that showcases some of the leading fibre/textile artwork in the country. Fibreworks exhibitions offer a rich and varied experience. The  artists come from a variety of arts backgrounds and  use  predominantly fibres and textiles as their means of expression, freely incorporating   a mixed-media approach to materials and techniques.
‘Fibre’ refers to materials that are made up of continuous thread-like filaments, including both vegetable and animal fibres such as cotton, paper, and wool, even spider silk.  Some fibre artists work with mineral fibres such as nylon. Alternatively, fibre art can be work whose subject matter and content is fibre.

Since this is an art form that encompasses a very large range of techniques, materials and approaches, the fibre artist has the opportunity to expand and explore the medium and subject in almost unlimited ways, both three and two dimensionally.

Artists include Jean Powell, Celia de Villiers, Jeanette Gilks, Odette Tolksdorf,  Cathy Knox, Roy Starke and  Gina Niederhumer.
