Exhibition Countdown: 3 days to go!
Today’s featured work from the Australia Wide Six exhibition is Pond Algae by Deborah Weir of Palos Verdes, California, USA. Deborah is a mixed media artist and curator who primarily uses textiles in her work. Though contemporary in every sense, the work references traditional “women’s work,” slowly built up, mostly by hand, with a needle, using gentle materials – fabric, thread, floss – in addition to more modern edgier ones such as Tyvek, metals and found objects. Her work is detailed, often with reflective surfaces and tiny, rich elements, and does not always neatly fit typical categories but includes collage, photography, painting, printing and heavily worked or embroidered surfaces as well as art quilts and weaving.
