Recently I have been busy with family life with the addition of baby number two. So creative pursuits have been placed to the side for a while. In February we did manage to get away to Sydney though and while there got to see the Love Lace - Powerhouse Museum International Lace Award.
This is an amazing exhibition that is on until April 2013 at the Powerhouse Museum. 134 lace works by 130 artists from 20 countries. As the museums website states 'playful and inventive, the works on display present a provocative challenge to traditional concepts of lace. The artists push lace techniques in surprising new directions'. If you are reading this blog no doubt you are interested in the contemporary use of lace in design, fashion and art. So if you happen to live or be visiting Sydney it is a must see Exhibition. If you can’t get there the Love Lace website is amazing with images of the works, video commentary and much more.
No doubt many of the artists will be featured in future blog posts. Congratulations Powerhouse for a such a vibrant, contemporary take on the use of lace in the 21st century.
