NCEATA (Newcastle Creative Embroiders and Textile Artists) appreciates that art  is a fusion of personal experiences and artistic influences, and  a mixture and blending of materials and techniques. In this exhibition “Fusion”, NCEATA has used the concept as a starting point for exploring ways of bringing elements, ideas, materials and techniques together and the result is a collection of vibrant and diverse textile artworks.  Some artists have literally “fused” materials to create their art, while others have researched and probed the word “Fusion” to develop a theme to inspire their work.  While 2020 has been a difficult year without meetings and support, NCEATA presents an exhibition of art work which showcases their innovative practices, skilled textile art techniques and considered interpretation of the theme “Fusion.”
