Eternal Waves Textile Art | Alpaca & Silk by Australian artist Fiona Durman

Textile Art Piece: “Eternal Waves”

“Eternal Waves,” another remarkable creation by Ashculme Textiles, showcases the natural elegance and organic rhythm of the Australian landscape. Fiona Durman carefully selects and processes the finest hand-reared alpaca wool, which is then dyed using natural bush leaves and foliage, imparting the fibers with a palette of earthy tones and subtle variations.

The wool, combined with fine silk threads, is spun and woven into a complex, flowing pattern that captures the essence of the outback’s undulating terrain. The intricate design is displayed between glass panels, highlighting the weave’s delicate structure and the interplay of colors and textures. This framing technique allows light to pass through, creating dynamic visual effects that change with the viewer’s perspective.

“Eternal Waves” is a testament to the harmony between natural materials and skilled craftsmanship, offering a unique and captivating piece of textile art that brings the beauty of the outdoors into any space. 18.5cm x 23.5cm.
