Sounds, Sights and Textures
The natural world has long been a source of inspiration for a diverse range of artists and expressive forms including visual, textile and fibre arts and music. Maureen O'Brien was inspired by the Hunter Wetlands to compose 6 musical pieces that evoke different aspects of the locale and its inhabitants. Up to 20 artists were invited to select one of Maureen's musical compositions and respond to it in their preferred art medium/s.
Come and experience the combination of music and fibre art. As Timeless Textiles explores explores the relationship between the natural world, music, visual, fibre and textile art forms. 'Sounds, Sights and Textures': connecting the Hunter Wetlands to music, and fibre art explores the relationship between hearing and observing in a specific site and artists' creative responses to them.
