I have to admit that I spend most of my life waiting in anticipation for exhibitions. Normally I read about them months in advance and time seems to pass by really slowly. I am currently looking forward to the Louise Bourgeois exhibition which is to be held at the new Hauser & Wirth gallery on Saville Row in October. The thing that interested me about this particular exhibition of her work is that it is her work on textiles. Having a scout around the Internet and in books I have discovered some really amazing pieces made on cloth. The work to the left is a particular favourite of mine, and has been drawn on cloth using pencil. It almost looks as if it has been done on a stained antique cloth.
I also came across Ode a l'obli which is a book made out of fabric. On closer inspection of the image below one can see that it has been made on a section of old shirt with the button holes along the side.
