‘Textiles: The Art of Mankind’ was on at the Fashion and Textile Museum. The exhibition celebrated the relationship between textiles, people and our world from pre-history to the digital age. I was very pleased to be given the opportunity to design the graphics for this inspiring show.
‘Textiles reveal the human desire to engage with texture and colour, record histories, thoughts and feelings, and preserve skills to hand down generations. Across the globe, they carry sacred significance, express our cultural regard for animals, while other’s symbolise life’s mysteries.’
Also closing is the display ‘Connecting Threads’ by artist Lynn Setterington. Through textiles Lynn challenges contemporary issues in society and how stitch can be used to commemorate people and communities.
