Desert Dreaming Textile Art | Alpaca & Silk by Australian artist Fiona Durman

Textile Art Piece: “Desert Dreaming”

“Desert Dreaming” by Ashculme Textiles is an enchanting textile artwork that encapsulates the mystique and beauty of the Australian desert. Fiona Durman uses the finest hand-reared alpaca wool, carefully gathered, cleaned, and dyed with natural bush leaves and foliage to achieve a rich tapestry of desert-inspired colors.

The wool is intricately spun with silk threads and woven into a pattern that reflects the vast, sweeping landscapes and subtle textures of the desert. Framed between glass panels, this piece allows viewers to appreciate the delicate weave and the interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the depth and dimensionality of the artwork.

“Desert Dreaming” serves as a stunning tribute to the rugged yet mesmerizing beauty of the Australian desert, blending natural materials with exceptional craftsmanship to create a piece that is both visually and tactilely captivating. 18.5cm x 23.5cm.
