Textile Traces exhibition

By  Ruth Singer 2017 - 2019
This exhibition brought together my work exploring human experience expressed through thoughtful and emotionally-engaged textile making. The subtle and delicate work references loss, memory, fragility and damage in both the cloth itself and in our personal lives. My background as a textile historian and museum curator is woven through this work; I creates pieces with a sense of history and a look of antiques but with a powerful contemporary story.
