Abstract or Description:

Group exhibition at Compton Verney

This exhibition will explore the theme of myths through the medium and history of textiles. From Ariadne's thread to the story of Arachne transformed from weaver to spider, these narratives have communicated associations including redemption, protection, metamorphosis and communication.
The exhibition will explore the way textiles have shaped both cultural and personal myths. The Fabric of Myth will include historic textiles, sculpture and work by artists such as:
Louise Bourgeois, William Morris, William Holman Hunt, Henry Moore, Mary Queen of Scots, Edward Burne-Jones, Joseph Beuys, Delaine De Bas, Ray Materson, Elaine Reichek, Alice Kettle, Judith Scott, Shane Waltner, Tilleke Schwarz and Annie Whiles
