Textiles and fibre art are no longer relegated to the dusty corridors of art history, where siloed classifications ensured that these mediums remained sidelined.
Rather, today they are considered a vital and expanded practice that sits at both the centre of material and conceptual making. Testament is a new exhibition co-curated by Catherine Woolley and Karen Hall for UNSW Galleries, titled Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre (29 April – 17 July), which will tour nationally.
