A common misconception about our PreShrunk exhibition, is that it's limited to 2 dimensional mediums like drawings and painting...not so! Each year we're thrilled to exhibit works by mixed media, sculptural and textile artists.
We'd to take a moment to share some of this year's amazing textile work!
First up, we have these spectacular embroidered desserts by Yoko White! If you're not familiar with the french knot stitch, take a closer look at the surface texture of these incredibly detailed works...
