Hello kittens, excuse my lateness with this post, but I have been having a very strange time lately and for some reason didn't get round to writing about this until now.
On Tuesday 5th April I, along with Becca, Rix, Letty and Lily, headed to Walcot Chapel to see our lovely housemate Allie's private view exhibition called 'Esoteric Illusions'. Although we weren't there for hours, I think we all enjoyed feeling cultured and looking at all the cool pieces the art students had produced.
Allie made this fabulous Alice in Wonderland inspired dress, which has gorgeous embroidered detailing along the bottom of scenes from the book and a belt made from printed text! We have pinched the hanging playing cards for our living room and it now looks a bit like a poker den. In a brilliant way, of course!
Having seen the amount of time and effort she put into it, it was nice to see it displayed and appreciated at the event.
Along with Allie's work, ten other artists exhibited their work.
Whilst they were all great in their own way, a few stood out to me personally. I don't claim to be an art critic, so my opinion is purely my own. I loved Alice Woolliscroft's embroidered transparent rain coat, Amy Jones' hand-cut book, Camila Sadler's mixed media shrine, and Olivis Mason's textile pieces.
