TEXTILE – HANDWOVEN

Handwoven textiles are narratives, woven and decorated by these thoughts and emotions that flow through each yarn, weft and warp, colors and patterns, carefully crafted with sincere love, care and creativity. Here we share the stories of talented crafters of traditional and contemporary textiles.
Every piece of art has a story to tell, and in light of our theme of “Resurgence” this year, we bring together stories of sustainable art practices using eco-friendly materials to create one-of-a-kind objects of art.

Hilda Allen is qualified as an interior designer and worked in architecture for over 10 years. Post childbirth, she ached to use her hands and moved away from computer screens. Hilda began weaving on a frame loom and has since, been very fortunate to do workshops with Angie Parker and Elizabeth Ashdown. Weaving allows her to look back through history at patterns and techniques and she tries to use them in a contemporary way.
