Art Textile Biennale 2020

Highlighting the contemporary practice with Art Textiles as an art form in this, the inaugural Art Textile Biennale.
Art Textiles is a term derived to express emotions and feelings using a media that has been used since the dawn of time.
With many working with cloth and fibre, the subtle marks of stitch show an extraordinary diversity of methods that are applied by 29 artists from 16 countries including Australia.
Traditional and non-traditional techniques being utilised in a contemporary practice, the repeated touch in these works is very gratifying.
Viewers will be captivated and engaged by the rhythm of the maker and excellence that is exhibited.
The selected works in the inaugural award pushes previously held notions of textile/fibre, opening a dialogue about what it is to be a textile artist that makes an expression and commentary on content and concept in the 21st century.
The finalists show a well resolved concept combined with exploratory and expert use of their own chosen material.
From intimate reflections to huge environmental issues, the works vary in concepts, techniques, material and presentation.
From the work of one's hands, these works are from artists who present themselves in varied ways as Masters in a technique that is so inherent within their art practice.
There is a common thread of innovation, experimentation beside professional practice with a focus on contemporary as never before.
