withdrawing – Filament Fibre Artists – Kilkenny Arts Week
Showing at Grennan Mill this August
withdrawing: to go or move back, away, or aside; retire; retreat: Filament Fibre Artists explore this theme in their reflective new exhibition dedicated to the memory of their friend and artist Mary Heffernan. This exhibition offers a time apart from the bustle of life and a contemplative moment to consider our own experiences of change, vulnerability and loss.
Filament founder members are joined by invited guests Kirsten Hodgson and Sonya Kinch for this new project as each individual artist responds to the theme withdrawing. Forms in clay, felt, wire and paper accompany pinned thread portraits, stitched nuno felt panels and handwritten lists. Each with deep significance and imbedded memory.
Pause for thought with Filament Fibre Artists at Grennan Mill, Thomastown from the 11th to the 18th of August, as part of Kilkenny Arts Week.
