Perth gallery celebrates textiles “renaissance”

Laura PondStirling Times

WITNESS the revival of textiles at The Art Space Collective’s latest exhibition.

The Scarborough gallery hosts a variety of artworks celebrating fabric and fibre as part of the free Fabrication: Beyond Functionality exhibition.

“Textiles are undergoing their own renaissance, no longer confined to the boundaries of pure functionality and limited spheres of creative expression,” gallery volunteer Irene Madden said.
