Piecing

'Piecing' will be a collaborative, textile-based show, featuring artists Jean Oberlander, Hannah Zbitnew and Ruby Smith. The artists describe the show as "an ode to memories of stitches, using what you have and building connections between layers of material"

About the artists: Jean Oberlander is a Scottish textile artist, educator and writer. Her work focuses on journeys and memories of stitches. Drawn marks turn into quilt drawings turn into hybrid knits, and back again, in a cycle of making using found papers, objects and fabrics. Ruby Smith is a designer and futurist based in London. Her textile work explores the intersection of material culture and popular culture. She is especially interested in how textiles hold memory, and how they can be used to help us understand better the historical moment we live in. Finally, Hannah Zbitnew is a Canadian textile artist and researcher currently based in London. Her textile work explores craft intimacies and folklore connections within the craft of weaving.
