Sponsored by 2 0 17 events The Medieval Project Created and Curated by Guest Artist Dijanne Cevaal Starting its exhibition life at Pour l’Amour du Fil in Nantes, France and now on tour in Australia, this textile art project is rich in history and colour. This project has been initiated by renowned Australian textile designer and our special guest artist at the show, Dijanne Cevaal, with additional contributions from textile artists from around Australia. Techniques showcased include embroidery, linocut, hand dyeing, stitching, layering, quilting and embellishing, ensuring this textile display will stand the test of time. Each piece has been hand printed, and is particularly beautiful in the cloth. MEET GUEST ARTIST, DIJANNE CEVAAL Don’t miss Dijanne demonstrating various textile art techniques. She will also discuss the Medieval Project and the inspiration behind the images featured in a floor talk at 12.30pm each day. The linocut designs for this project have been inspired by the medieval period in France known for its rich tapestries and embroideries, in particular the figures on the Royal Portal at Chartres Cathedral and the lady and the Unicorn tapestry in the Cluny Musee in Paris. The Medieval Project radiates colour and inspiration from this important part of history. Dijanne Cevaal is a renowned Australian textile artist, teacher, author, and experienced curator and organiser of international exhibitions. These travelling exhibitions have showcased the work of Australian textile artists in Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Dijanne’s own work has also been exhibited around the world in both group and solo exhibitions. “I love to dye and print fabrics and assemble them into quilts with lots of stitching both by hand and machine. I also create my own linocuts for printing on fabric.” The Stitches & Craft Show News ♥ 5 Our Wishes for the World Exhibition Presented by Stitched Together, Queensland based artists A textile exhibition focusing on environmental concerns and offering solutions to these issues: recycling, storm water harvesting and forest regeneration are some of the issues raised by the artwork.
