Connected Voices: More than Green
Connected Voices is a group of four artists, each working with textiles as their primary medium. As Diploma of Textile Art graduates, they continue to explore their contemporary art practice within a wide range of techniques: botanical dyeing, freestyle hand weaving, collage, digital and hand printing, machine and hand stitching. While the inspiration from and response to the natural environment informs much of their work, the concept of More than Green extends beyond the visual. These artists are also exploring eco-dyes, zero waste production, sustainable practice and recycling; processes which remain mostly hidden but are an intrinsic part of the artworks.
They produce original, meaningful pieces in a tactile and familiar medium; yet one which can be re-interpreted in a contemporary and expressive way.
