17th September - 14th December 2007

Stories - remembered, personal, mythical or imaginary - are the underlying inspiration for the textile artists in this exhibition. Their ideas are communicated in the medium of thread and fabric, materials that often have a powerful emotional symbolism in the lives of human beings. The work is about journeys through life – adventures, happenings and moments that can be huge or small, life-changing or life–enriching.

This exhibition explores the universal themes of love and loss, life and death, pleasure and sadness. Each artist brings a particular sensitivity to their experience of being alive, communicating personal experiences and personal perceptions of the world.
