Australia Update for "Art Cloth: Engaging New Visions"

It's exciting to finally see the full list of invited artists in the upcoming Australian exhibition! My piece, "Etruscan Relic" will get shipped off to Australia after it gets professionally photographed on Friday.


Here are the first ads that just appeared in the May 2009 issue (# 94) of Australia Fibre Forum, an Australian textile magazine, for the upcoming Art Cloth: Engaging New Visions exhibition that will open in Australia August 29 - October 11, 2009 at the Fairfield City Museum and Gallery, in Smithfield, NSW, AU. An exhibition preview article will appear in the same publication in the August issue.
