an installation by Lesley Giovanelli
Opening Friday 27 November 6-8pm
Open 11am - 5pm Friday - Sunday 28 November - 13 December
In her latest installation Giovanelli will suspend oversized bags throughout Articulate Project space.
These colourful patchwork bags
or sacks are made from fabric, much of it collected directly from the
makers during her travels in Yunnan, Laos and India. The traditional
hand made Asian textiles are given a new
reading by juxtaposing them with modern mass produced designs from
Europe, Japan and Australia. The bags conjure associations with containers, wool sacks, shoulder bags etc. but are also strongly
physical, corresponding to the body as they stretch taut or slump, fill with air or deflate.
