Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix
FIBREtravels South for an unwrapping, unrolling and unfolding of fibre and textile artworks from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection together with works from invited artists.
FIBREpresents stitched, threaded, strung, rubbed, ripped, folded and pressed Fibre art. From silky and delicate, to course and robust, the works speak of material manipulation and ritualistic gestures of repetitive stitching and rubbing. Everyday clothing is cut, re-stitched and sculpted anew; forms of nature are enveloped in felt and fabric; human hair is shaped and strung together; paper is stitched into and; native flora and fauna are pictured and sculpted of, with and on fibres.
Coming out of a time of social isolation, this exhibition is about intimacy; it compels the sense of touch. It also invites us to consider the intricately crafted qualities of the natural world around us and the cultural significance of fibre and textiles as contemporary art.
FEATURED ARTISTS:
Lindsay Mpetyane Bird, Tingapa Davies, Mark Dustin, Olga Cironis, Marjorie Coleman, Sujora Conrad, Carmela Corvaia, Angela Ferolla, Jean Hoijo, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Holly Story, Lesley Parker, John Parkes, Susan Roux, Nalda Searles, Helen Seiver, Curtis Taylor, Debra West

Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri, Tribal Hunting Grounds, 1974
This incredible work by Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri, along with two others from the JanetHolmes à Court Collection, is currently on loan at the Fremantle Arts Centre for the exhibition Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri in WA: Hunter Dreaming. This work is a rare topographical representation of the Dreamings that criss-cross an area in traditional Anmatyerre country north of Alice Springs. It is a Dreaming map of the artist’s country on Napperby Station and shows ancestral tracks against a background pattern representing the landscape. The Dreaming tracks pass beyond the borders of the image, travelling as they do in reality, from one group’s country to the next. Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri was a significant Papunya Tula Anmatyerre painter and this exhibition re-unites a selection of key works. More information can be found here.
Lesley Meaney, Red Dirt Longing, 2016-19
This work is currently en route to the UK, providing the welcome warmth and colour of the Australian outback to its new owners. It was sold in the recent exhibition at the Holmes à CourtGallery at Vasse Felix - Lesley Meaney: Becoming Australian.
Works from this exhibition are still viewable online: https://hacgallery.weebly.com
