Textile Art Piece: “Outback Streams”
“Outback Streams” by Ashculme Textiles is an exquisite piece of art that brings the beauty of the Australian landscape into your home. Created by the talented Fiona Durman, this piece features hand-reared alpaca wool, which the artist gathers, cleans, and dyes using natural bush leaves and foliage. The result is a rich, deep blue that mirrors the streams winding through the outback.
The wool is expertly spun with silk thread, creating a sturdy yet delicate textile. The intricate weave of “Outback Streams” showcases flowing, wave-like patterns that mimic the meandering paths of streams through the rugged terrain. Framed between two glass panels, the artwork allows for an unobstructed view of the detailed craftsmanship, highlighting the fine textures and natural movement captured in the textile.
This piece is more than just a visual delight; it is a tactile experience that invites viewers to explore the gentle curves and flowing lines that tell the story of the land. “Outback Streams” is a testament to Durman’s skill and her deep connection to the Australian landscape. 22cm x 26.5cm.
