Some images from Dubai Art Fair last March (can’t believe its been such a while since I last blogged). There were lots of textile works, sorry I don’t have all the names, but really interesting stuff that one doesn’t see here. Will try and remember and caption them!
These two pieces were by a Nepalese artist who used traditional materials and wove them on to paper
This image I thought was fun – layers of net and stitching
This work is on fine mesh (possibly used in hospitals) and finely stitched – depicting the remains of cultural places in Palestine which she had taken from newspaper photos.
This was photographs of practice machining onto paper – who remembers doing this!
These were a couple of hangings – I am not sure if they were rolled and boiled/steamed or whether they were beaten – flower images that were very amusing.
There were also exquisite indian embroideries on very fine silk gauze that were displayed in a way that you could see them from both sides – the backs as beautiful as the fronts.
Huge Hangings embroidered with silk depicting the four seasons with Arabic caligraphy worked into the fabric.
