Introduction
The very first post I published on this blogspot (26th of August, 2010) was the ArtCloth exhibition that I curated and that was funded in order to tour it throughtout Australia. It was titled - ArtCloth: Engaging New Visions. Twenty one ArtCloth works were exhibited from 21 artists who resided in Britain, Europe, Japan, the USA and Australia.
Joan Truckenbrod (USA) was invited to open the exhibition, but unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances she was unable to fly to Australia. Els van Baarle (The Netherlands) flew to Australia and at the last minute agreed to open the exhibition. She gave a wonderful impromptu opening speech.
Her ArtCloth work - Nothing is the Same I & II - reflected on the loss of her husband and so was an emotional work for others to experience.
Nothing is the Same I & II.
I had been an admirer of Els and her close friend Cherilyn Martin's work since the 90s. In early 2015 I was asked to open their combined exhibition - Memory Cloth - Rememberings in Textile Exhibition@Museum de Kantfabriek (The Netherlands) - which I was happy to do.
Els van Baarle, Marie-Therese Wisniowski and Cherilyn Martin catching up at the opening of the "Memory Cloth. Rememberings in Textile" exhibition.
This piqued my interest in ArtCloth and Art Quilts in the Netherlands and so in 2015, whilst at the Textile Lab in Tilburg, I purchased Henk Lijding, Art Quilts in Nederland, which gives a wounderful insight into the work of so many quilters in the Netherlands.
