Weaving matter: material experimentation

Weaving matter: material experimentation presents contemporary practitioners who are making their ideas visible by experimenting with diverse materials to translate political, social, personal or environmental concerns into weavings. Weaving matter was first exhibited at the Australian Design Centre in Sydney in 2023, and for this expanded exhibition at Ararat Gallery TAMA all artists have continued their experimentation with diverse materials to illustrate their innovation in exploring ideas. All weavers have created intriguing, individual, innovative, and unique woven works that comment on current concerns with materials that take on ‘the burden’ of the concept and present contemporary stories in cloth. Curator: Liz Williamson Artists: Christine Appleby, Hannah Cooper, Blake Griffiths, Amanda Ho, Lise Hobcroft, Kelly Leonard, Jennifer Robertson, Jacqueline Stojanovic, Jane Théau, Ilka White and Monique van Nieuwland.
