‘Work in Progress’ textile artists explored the theme of ‘The Collection’ looking at a number of personal collections, as well as ideas which emanate from living through a global pandemic. Where possible, sustainable materials or recycled ones were used.

FRAGMENTS

Ideas explored included: how memory can play tricks so that our thought processes become ‘fragments’ or how sometimes one can remember a first line of a poem but no more; how messages can be fragmented when letters are hidden or disguised; explorations of veiled spaces, where there is insufficient information for the viewer to decipher the scene in full; the depiction of nature’s fragments or the mosaic appeal of broken china, where the memory of the original pieces are reassembled to create something new.

This theme came out of discussions about how to escape the pressure to ‘get through our lists’, to satisfy a brief as well as the pleasure of making and working with box forms.

The title reflected the fact that it was the first exhibition by the group which was formed after completing the City & Guilds course in Embroidery. The theme offered interpretations and explorations of line.
