A new exhibition of woven textiles by Tony Busch. In this exhibition Tony brings audiences into a sense of place, exploring local landscapes; Warripari Sturt Gorge, Aldinga and Sellicks beach. Through the act of walking, Tony has gathered inspiration from the uniquely South Australian landscape- texture, colour, shape are translated through Tony’s chosen material.
Slow and generous appreciation are also part of Tony’s process- his use of hand dyed cotton warp, hand dyed jute and yarn on his hand built frame looms attenuate the pace of creation. This allows for the both the artist and audiences attention to be drawn slowly across the surface of works- we take notice of subtle shifts in tone and texture, and an understanding of the gesture of the artists hand that have skilfully manipulated the raw materials into abstracted forms. Like the act of walking, the slow process of building these woven landscapes creates a deep appreciation of beauty, and reverence for the life-force of the landscape.
