01.01.2022 "The discovery of a fragment of flax fibre in the Republic of Georgia, dating from about 34,000 years ago, is a reminder of our enduring relationship with textiles. With screens dominating our lives, it is an apt time to recall an ancestor of computing: the loom. Threading information into two axes, creating individual pixels which steadily build legibility, has created far-reaching legacies across cultural history. Contemporary practitioners mine this trove of ideas and tech...niques." A perfect read on the eve of our next exhibition, Shimmering: the Mona Hessing tribute project. 8 textile artists, pay homage to leading Australian textile artist, Mona Hessing, who in the 1970s was making waves by pushing the textile medium in new and innovative ways. Now, some 50 years on, these artists are using her legacy as inspiration for their own practice. https://thebas.com.au//shimmering-the-mona-hessing-tribut/ #thebas #seeyouatthebas #textileandfibreart #monahessing #eftag #regionalarts #regionalartsnsw #yuin #eurobodalla #moruya https://www.smh.com.au//innovative-textile-art-is-smashing
