Between the Threads

“Between the Threads brings together eight artists whose practices find common ground in fibre, fabric, and material process, while remaining strikingly distinct in vision, method, and cultural origin. Spanning Australia and overseas, the exhibition celebrates textile as one of today’s most dynamic artistic languages, where weaving, stitching, soft sculpture, and experimental materials become powerful tools for storytelling, identity, memory, and transformation.

diverse techniques

Blurring the boundaries between art, craft, design, and installation, the exhibition brings together practices as diverse in technique as they are united in material thinking: from fabric collage portraits and Japanese textile traditions, to silk ink works, biochrome prints on chiffon, spiritual totem dolls, feltmaking, contemporary quilting and bojagi, to intimate mixed-media works on home and belonging.

Between the Threads invites audiences to experience the richness, tactility, and conceptual depth of contemporary textile practice and to feel the power of what human hands can make. ” Creative Room Art Space

Renata’s work in the exhibition

Some fo my textiles included in this exhibition have toured several regional galleries in SE Queesland in the last couple of years.

I’m trilled to bring these works back and them with Brisbane audiences.

This exhibition also includes my recent cyanotype: Threshold Waters — Where Fresh Meets Salt. This work was originally created for Aqua Limina: The Pulse of Water – Creek to Coast and received the inaugural Excellence in Art, Nature & Science Award, recognised for its integration of environmental process, liminality, and art–science engagement.
