Our Blurb 

Follow the entanglement of fibre back at least 12,000 years to the Neolithic era and we find weaving that carries things, makes homes or serves some other practical uses in the patterns of daily life. Weaving is part of most cultures' heritage. The patterns of entanglement represented by this group of artists, from a random collection of fibres to more intentionally curated patterns, serve similar practical uses,  some were made ritualistically, some purely aesthetic, all involve the use of ancient skills in traditional and contemporary ways. Today, weaving is limited only by our imaginations and many of our weavers push at the edges of the art form as they explore and expand their own patterns of entanglement.

This exhibition invites you to consider the many threads of your own life, your own cultural heritage, your own daily rhythms, and to see the patterns of entanglement of which you are a part.
