The fifth exhibition in the series, initiated by Gabrielle Powell and shown at Spiral Gallery Bega, Interwoven 5 showcases works by basket makers, textile artists and weavers from the NSW South Coast and Canberra region. Works in this show draw on a variety of weaving traditions and feature techniques including twining, coiling, stitching and assemblage to create works that engage with the contemporary world.

Each work is a reflection of the maker’s passions and concerns that are expressed through the use of materials, which may include cultivated and gathered natural fibres as well as synthetic materials and found objects. Each work is also informed by the artist’s unique aesthetic sensibility and preference for technical practices.
