Bridging the Gap

ART SPACE 43
Solo Exhibition
Brisbane 2000

Wall Quilts, framed Embroidery & Mixed Media artworks were inspired by one photographic image – the rail bridge at Indooroopilly. Works include digitally manipulated images printed to paper, and transfer printed to cotton & silk fabric, some embellished with found objects and machine pieced & quilted cotton fabric.

Experimentation of these process led to Sharyn’s Churchill Fellowship Award; to study the transfer of photographic images to fabric in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom in 2001.
