Flow is a textile exhibition representing a study of movement, tactile experience, and colour, through a series of hand-embroidered and woven pieces that you just want to reach out and touch. Meg Dalton is a mixed media textile artist working in Ngunnawal and Ngambri country (Canberra, Australia). Her passion is hand embroidery, using thread and other media to explore the form, tone, and texture of landscapes both real and imagined. Meg began her art practice in the mid-2010s to find a more creative application for her study of geospatial information systems. Her work reframes the traditional crafts of needlepoint and weaving as contemporary art practices, beyond the shackles of cross-stitched throw pillows and colonial wall-hangings. Her textile practice grew from small aerial landscape embroideries, through to larger-scale loom weaving, and into more abstract multi-media pieces. Her current body of work, Flow, explores visual movement in a two-dimensional space.
