Gabrielle Kruger

 

 Wearable painting, standing alone as sculpture in the studio, ready to be embodied and become alive.

The wire armature holds the delicate paint leaves, flowers and robust nests woven from strips of acrylic paint.  ‘My home is my nest my body is my home’,  is a performance painting by Gabrielle Kruger in collaboration with Cape Ballet Africa and presented by Galerie EIGEN + ART.

Cord

At the heart of Cord's  'Album '91' collection is craft, hand embroidery, appliqué, smocking, and patchwork bringing texture and depth whilst layered prints and playful pattern clashes bring a sense of joyful movement to every piece. The styling appears to echo Wez Anderson, but the real influence at play here is the work of director Satyajit Ray (1921-1992), who Wez Andreson always looked to for inspiration.

Heidi Parkes

This quilt (above and below) by Heidi Parkes is like a wonderful new watercolour set, you just want to dive in.

All of Heidi's quilts are masterpieces in patience hand stitched and embroidered.

Pale

 

Pale  takes the concept of repair, distress and patchwork to new aesthetic extremes, creating stunning  garments.

Ann Coddington

 

Woven organ like vessels by Ann Coddington.

Of the piece directly above Ann writes:

My “albatross” vessels are woven from linen fibers and inside contain plastic that I collected over a month’s time: some of my own plastic and some found while walking to my studio. What appears elegant, organic and pure, like the body of the albatross, hides discarded detritus within. The woven vessel, like the body of the albatross, will most certainly decompose long before the plastic within. Before that happens, I hope we will have found a viable way to take greater action in dealing with our plastic waste. This series is a way to take some responsibility for my part of this problem and to bring this conversation to the forefront of my work.
