The exhibition Journeys: the Silk Road and beyond was held at Newcastle’s Timeless Textiles Gallery on February 2, 2022, presenting artworks by the renowned textile artist Judy Hooworth, whose works were inspired by the rich diversity of texture, pattern and color experienced by the artist on her journeys.
Hooworth was fascinated by marks made by the individual hands of artisans that she discovered on walls and doorways, carvings, tiles, embroideries and even in contemporary graffiti. Her photographs of these small details inspired each composition. She draws, mono prints, discharges and paints fabrics, continuing a tradition of spontaneous mark-making while interpreting in her own style. She has led the viewers on their own ways towards different cultures.
The exhibition will last until March 13, 2022.
