Textile Art Piece: “Blue Horizon”
“Blue Horizon” by Ashculme Textiles is a breathtaking piece of textile art that seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary design. Crafted meticulously by Fiona Durman, this artwork uses hand-reared alpaca wool, lovingly gathered, cleaned, and dyed by the artist herself. The unique blue hue is derived from natural bush leaves and foliage, resulting in a color that is both vibrant and serene, reminiscent of the Australian outback sky.
Durman spins the wool with fine silk thread, adding a touch of elegance and strength to the textile. The intricate weaving patterns evoke the vast and undulating landscapes of the outback, capturing its essence and spirit in every thread. The framed piece is sandwiched between glass panels, allowing viewers to appreciate the delicate details and textures of the weave from all angles. The natural, flowing lines within the weave suggest a gentle breeze sweeping across the horizon, making “Blue Horizon” a mesmerizing and tranquil addition to any space. 22cm x 26.5cm.
