Flowing Earth Textile Art | Alpaca & Silk by Australian artist Fiona Durman

Textile Art Piece: “Flowing Earth”

This exquisite textile art piece by Ashculme Textiles, titled “Flowing Earth,” captures the serene and intricate beauty of the Australian outback. Crafted with meticulous care, this artwork utilizes hand-reared alpaca wool, a luxurious and soft material gathered by Fiona Durman. The process begins with the careful collection and cleaning of the wool, followed by dyeing with natural bush leaves and foliage, infusing the fibers with earthy and organic hues.

The wool is then expertly spun with delicate silk threads, adding a subtle sheen and strength to the fabric. This intricate blend of materials is woven into a mesmerizing pattern that evokes the undulating landscapes and natural textures of the outback. The artwork is framed between glass panels, enhancing the visibility of every fine detail and allowing the viewer to appreciate the intricate weave and rich textures.

“Flowing Earth” is a harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship, offering a window into the timeless beauty of the Australian wilderness. 18.5cm x 23.5cm.
