I’ve got something fun coming up this Friday! I’m going to be participating in the Northern Exposure Visual Arts Festival!<\/p>\n

I’ll have some Shibori on the street for the 2 weeks of the festival, some Indigo works on canvas as part of the “Small Works Small Spaces” exhibit. My work is entitled “Phases”, and is still a work in progress, I’ve got a bit to finish off before the end of the week.<\/p>\n

I’ve been contemplating the notion of shibori street art for a little while now, so being able to take part in this festival is pretty cool. The idea came to me when i was thinking about yarn bombing, and how that has become such an accepted practice in Melbourne, and particularly in Moreland which is where I live. \u00a0I love the idea of turning textiles into street art, something that can be either left for all to enjoy or be squirrelled away for use in a project. (Before you think of\u00a0squirrelling\u00a0these ones, they’re on heavy painters canvas, so they aren’t going to sew nicely into a quilt for example!)<\/p>\n

Now I just have to test pasting this heavy canvas onto a wall! Otherwise I will have to find a different way to install them, and probably a different location on the street too.<\/p>\n

Northern Exposure runs for 2 weeks, opening this Friday 12th July 2013 @6pm on High Street in Northcote. You can find more info on the High St Northcote facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
