‘Strange Notions’, is a group exhibition by 19 fibre and textile artists known collectively as ‘untethered fibre artists inc’.

Their aim is to extend the viewers’ vocabulary of textile and fibre art and to provoke personal thoughts and journeys through contemporary, innovative, and expertly crafted works.

‘Strange Notions’ present representational and conceptual works of fibre art that delve into rich resources, from the tangible to the non-tangible, the personal to the communal, yielding critical reflections and thoughtful projections.

Each artwork is a celebration of difference in the combination of fibres and techniques, rephrasing assumptions and reflecting the diversity in approach to artmaking, through the vocabulary of fibre.
