DISLOCATIONS
September 2012
Damien Minton Gallery, Sydney
Created in collaboration with Donna Sgro and exhibited as part of INTERWOVEN, staged by the Design Institute of Australia Textile Practice Group
DISLOCATIONS is a series of three textile works that investigate disruptive image and pattern ‘making’.
The three works were hand-screen printed in monochromatic half-tones, then sliced and reconstructed through stitching, emphasising the disruptive nature of the pattern.
Disruptive imagery has been developed in relation to textiles in the area of camouflage. Using a different principle of disruptive imagery, these works investigate how other approaches and adaptations of image and pattern construction can disrupt the visual within a creative-practice context.
