Friday night saw me head over the barriers to The Loft Gallery in St Margret`s Hope for the opening of `Growth` a new collection of textile works by Emma Fraser, Jean Malone and Morag Tweedie.
These three artists share similar passions for making art work through textile and stitch.
This exhibition shows the use of these techniques to depict the natural world, it`s flora and fauna.

Emma Fraser
Emma`s work comes from her childhood obsession with peat moss where
she saw the beauty in it`s detail, pattern and colour.
Jean Malone
Jean explores the relationship between flower/plants and insects: Their similarities as in intricate patterns and colour, life-cycles and how they can be both delicate and yet incredibly resilient.
Morag Tweedie
Morag is currently fascinated by field boundaries with their colour, textures and patterns and has combined this with her love for common wild flowers that grace the landscape.
It was a truly beautiful selection of works and was well worth the drive there.
The exhibition is on from the 22nd April - 23rd May and for anyone who loves this kind of art work,
its a must see!!
