Textile language explores the way artists can express their ideas through the language of stitch and cloth. The work in the exhibition uses of a wide variety of materials and techniques from cloth and paper, to found materials to explore different narratives and individual stories.
All the artists represented live or work in Kent. You are welcome to join us for a meet the Artist Session on Wednesday 29th January 1.00-3.00pm
The exhibition is accompanied by a growing installation of UMO’s (Unidentified, Meaningful Objects) created by the local Medway community, individuals and online groups. UMO started as a collaboration between artists Liesbeth Werts and Cas Holmes with members of the group ‘What We Value, What We Miss’, who meet up online.
We are delighted to extend the project and invite you to create your own UMO to keep, or to add to this growing collection. Instructions are printed for you to read, or can be found on the QR code which links to @Liesbeth Werts demonstration video. (see link in comments or visit https://casholmes.uk/exhibitions/
