Ethereal threads of Meredith Woolnough.

An exhibition of the intricate and ethereal work of fabric artist Meredith Woolnough will open at Timeless Textiles gallery on 16 August.

In the exhibition Woolnough explores the power and fragility of nature through intricately embroidered sculptures. The shapes and patterns found in coral and leaves are replicated in tiny stitches that build up to form specimen-like constructions that are light and delicate. Each piece is carefully mounted onto paper with pins to give the embroidery relief from the page so that it captures the light and flings shadows onto the paper creating depth, volume and movement.

This exquisiteexhibition will be opened from 6-8pm on Thursday, 16 August 2012 and will run until 9 September 2012.
