This exhibition features a wide variety of textile techniques and materials with inspiration stemming from the natural world, the built environment, from personal experience as well as from the materials themselves.
The artists in Consuo, including Cockpit maker Deb King, are continually exploring and investigating the traditional and the unconventional to produce uniquely designed and constructed work.
Inspired by the worn ledger stones in Chichester cathedral, Deb’s intricate silk passementerie involves hand spinning cords from very fine silk thread. These are then placed in the warps to make pieces celebrating the interwoven lives of individuals, families and communities and the spaces they leave behind.
