Mapping The Future: Where Are You Now?
Thursday 23 February - Saturday 24 March
“Maps define the future of how we see the world because they give us information that we then react to”
PROFESSOR JERRY BROTTON
Maps are as much to do with philosophy as geography. They are not two-dimensional pictures of the world but windows on to a subtle and complex world-view. Maps can be highly selective and show geographical, psychological, social and economic places. Places are not static.
In response to these concepts, and following a successful Textiles Forum South West (TFSW) conference held at Somerset College in 2011, this exhibition includes work inspired by such varying themes as personal journeys, the landscape and history, through to ambitious networking of the sounds of making. The artists utilise a whole range of experimental techniques to convey their ideas including delicate hand stitch, felt making, quilting, collage, knitting, sculpture as well as digital media.
This exhibition builds on the TFSW’s previous collaborations with Viewpoint, Plymouth College of Art & Design and Walford Mill in Dorset, to showcase the talents of the TFSW membership through more than thirty artists that are participating.
