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.
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.
