Deeply superficial - a celebration in stitches

Lismore visual artist, Mary Adams invites you to her new show

'Deeply Superficial – a tribute in stitches'.

Opening night - Friday June 5, 6-8pm

All welcome!

Mary has worked in the medium of knitting for over 40 years,

producing hand loomed garments in pure wool

using a range of images from popular culture.

For Deeply Superficial,

she has produced sweaters featuring tributes

to rock and roll stars past and present,

legendary ladies of song and screen

and some fab ads and famous firsts.

AND, for the first time ever in 3D,

using ChromaDepth technology,

Mary has produced a range of sweaters

paying homage to some of Lou Reed ‘s finest songs

and great masters in the world of art.

I don’t know just what it’s all about

– put on your 3D glasses and find out!

'Deeply Superficial – a tribute in stitches'

is on view 3-16 June 2015

The title is a quote from Andy Warhol which he used to describe himself – and his paintings.

It seemed appropriate for an exhibition featuring flat knitted surfaces which appear to have depth

– where colours appear to float in layers.

The Serpentine's front window featured a series of Rock’n’Roll tributes

- Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Patti Smith, Blondie and Bob Marley.
