Tuesday Textures – Dundee Contemporary Arts

Exhibition by Sukaina Kubba

The artist works with industrial and packaging materials, and explores travelling objects, and textile. All this gives her pieces a very textural feel.

Tuesday Textures – From the Barbican

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.
