The Embroidered Thread: Interpretations from Australia and America, presents Meredith Woolnough and Jennifer Cranshaw's work together for the first time. While each artist approaches the medium in different ways, there is a comfortable familiarity in the works.
Celebrated local artist Meredith Woolnough has exhibited work at Timeless Textiles several times over the last five years. Her elegant embroidered traceries capture the beauty and fragility of nature in knotted embroidery threads. Through a delicate system of tiny stitches she creates intricate and complex openwork compositions. They are pinned like preserved specimens in shadow boxes. American artist, Jennifer Crenshaw, says her work with free motion embroidery began with the desire to create multiple motifs and shapes using metallic threads. She wanted to create free forms that are not attached to a substrate.
