Artist puts textiles under the microscope
A young Manchester artist is using cutting edge techniques to explore the unseen worlds within textiles and fabrics.
Textile/digital artist Sally Williams is showcasing her contemporary and innovative blend of sculptural textiles and large scale digital imagery at
The Lewis Textile Museum and Art Gallery - Blackburn 24 January – 28 February (Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 4pm).
Sally’s work explores the beautiful unseen architectural landscapes that lie at the microscopic level of textiles, taking you on a journey through the weft and weave of the fibre, uncovering hidden environments to explore.
