…art made with textiles has the most amazing textures
On our recent trip to London, we stopped at the Barbican to see the show, Unravel: The Power of Politics of Textiles in Art. The first thing we saw was the exterior of the gallery cloaked in fabric.


Inside the gallery over 100 artists had works of textile art on display. Many of the pieces were very textural which was quite evident from a distance and others made for wonderful close-up shots of the detail in the pieces.








I like the composition of the inside shots

Sometimes you were allowed to touch and other times if you got too close you set off an alarm.

I almost got kicked out of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna because I traced a form with my finger (standing 1.50 m away, so my hand was still at least 70 cm away from the painting). But one of the attendants saw me and became suspicious. He followed me around for the rest of my visit. π³
