Momentum: 18th Tamworth Fibre Textile Biennial
The Tamworth Biennial is a prestigious event in the Australian art calendar. Momentum: 18th Tamworth Fibre Textile Biennial has been curated by Valerie Kirk, Head of Textiles, ANU Canberra, and will reflect the development of textiles and the every increasing rate of change in this field. Momentum identifies artists on the move, embracing the future with works that surprise and inspire; 25 artists from across Australia have been selected. The accessibility of the language of textiles and its relevance to contemporary life, demonstrates why artists have elected to work in this medium. This exhibition will provide audiences with a focus on the finest and most exploratory aspects of contemporary fibre textile practice.

The weavers are all members of the Australian ‘Weavers’ Forum’, a group established in 1998 by local Trudy Newman.
“When the group first started we had about 20 members and it has now grown to around 200,” says Trudy. “We have members in every state of Australia and they keep in touch via newsletter and our web site www.weaversforum.com”
Approximately 22 works will be on show reflecting a wide range of techniques available to the hand weaver. Both tapestry and loom weaving are represented and visitors can see on display rugs, wall hangings, garments, wraps and shawls.
