Art Quilt Australia 2023, including Expressions: The Wool Quilt Prize, opens later this week! This striking collection of contemporary quilt textiles will be on exhibition at the National Wool Museum, Geelong, Victoria, from 12 August until 12 November. Opening hours 10am to 5pm daily.
In today’s preview, we feature two deeply personal artworks by Tania Tanti of Altona Meadows, Victoria. In Clap Clap You, the artist marks a moment of self reflection: “a desire to be part of the ocean. To swim deeply, freely, swirling and twirling and every now and again ducking back and forth in a zig zag motion”
Escape Into the Night is a wool quilt and commentary on domestic violence:
A scream so loud he couldn’t stand it anymore. And then we were off! Running in the night. The fastest heartbeat, the widest eyes, the prickliest skin. The mother herding her flock as fast as their legs can carry them.
Tania writes more about Escape Into the Night in her Instagram post and you can view more of her artwork on her website at: www.taniatanti.com.au
