Pepper Street Arts Centre: Fragmented

Fragmented, an exhibition of textiles.

Join Pepper Street Arts Centre for the newest local artist exhibition ‘Fragmented’, from Friday 1 - Friday 29 September.

A journey in texture and mood, ‘Fragmented’ is brought to you by the Fibre Artist Network (FAN), a community group of over 100 artists who have been collaborating for over 20 years.

Featuring the work of 21 artists, including group convener Suzanne Gummow, the exhibition promises to challenge the broad idea of memory, art and form through an experience in style and technique. And with a stipulation requiring artwork displayed in the exhibition to stand one metre tall, ‘Fragmented’ promises to deliver some strikingly dynamic visuals.

Local artist and member of FAN, Cathy Boniciolli specialises in seascape visuals, focusing on the Fleurieu Peninsula’s stunning oceans and beaches, describing the sea and sands as good for the soul and a place to feel at peace.

‘We look at textiles as an art form, not a craft,’ Cathy said. ‘Each artist is challenged to interpret the theme individually to create a diverse exhibition.’

‘Beauty is very tactile you can develop texture and mood. Fabric is also more relatable than paint and other mediums, everyone wears fabric which means they can relate to the art.’

With artist demonstrations throughout September, get a firsthand look at the artists and techniques that contributed to this exhibition.
