Of Land and Sea brings together the exceptional work of textile artists, Linda Steele and emerging artists Michael Hammer.
Linda takes us underwater to experience the colour and life of the coral reef, Her intricate detailed creations invite us to consider the environmental impacts of coral bleaching and the role we can all play in protecting the oceans.
Michael interprets nature in abstract, surreal and impressionist forms, creating patterns within patterns, suggesting forms without rigid narrative.
Together these artists demonstrate two very different approaches to textile art making, sharing a focus on the natural environment.
