Playing at textile art display.
Cloth can become an evocative form of art, with the lighting and dimensions, it's just beautiful!
Taken at the 18th Biennale of Sydney in Cockatoo Island.
Most textiles designed by architect Josef Frank (1885-1967). The elephant pattern designed by Estrid Ericson in the 1930s.

De kleurrijke installaties van Fransje Killaars (1959) zijn driedimensionale schilderijen die bestaan uit handgeweven tapijten, stoffen en strengen wol in alle denkbare kleuren. Textiel vormt het basismateriaal in haar unieke oeuvre. Killaars is gefascineerd door de kracht van kleur, de relatie tussen mens en textiel en de verbondenheid van textiel met het dagelijks leven. Door de ongebruikelijke combinaties van kleur en materiaal ontregelt het werk de ruimte en de blik van de toeschouwer. Behalve autonome installaties maakt Killaars werk in opdracht in de publieke ruimte, zoals indrukwekkende installaties en wandbekledingen, samengesteld uit de voor haar typerende horizontale lagen stof en geïnspireerd op het principe van stofstalenboeken.
HMM!
My entry for this week's Macro Mondays theme, "Cloth/textile"... a scrap of material that was used for a dress for my daughter a few years ago
Longtime trimmings store M&J Trimmings is going out of business. We bought a long string of red pom-poms for our Christmas tree there about 35 years ago, and use it to this day.

Local market in Antigua, Guatemala.
Textiles is perhaps Guatemala's best-known and most popular artisanal activity; It is also one of the most important export products in the country. The most popular fabrics are produced by indigenous women, creating intricate designs with multiple colors; but in general, typical fabrics are produced by both, women and men, women use the traditional back-strap loom with wooden sticks, while men use a big pedal loom to produce them.

Devon Mill in Oldham was constructed in 1908 by Devon Mill Ltd to the design of G Stott. In 1915 it was operating 91,000 spindles. During the 1950s it was taken over by the Cyril Lord group and production ceased in 1962. It has since been used as a mail order warehouse and is currently split into commercial units.
Croal Mill in Bolton was built in 1908 to the design of Bradshaw and Gass for the Croal Spinning Company Limited. Cotton spinning ended in 1967 and the mill was later used as a mail order warehouse for Littlewoods. It is listed Grade II.
One of the few remaining large textile machines still to be found at the place of their operation. Once dozens of such units oparated in every factory in Lodz - now they are few and far between. For this reason I am very satisfied to have found this beauty and make some shots of it (along with some of her girlfriends from the same location).
This series of images was photographed at the exhibition "A Decade of Art Quilting" by Linden Lancaster at the G.R.A.I.N. Store, Nathalia Victoria from October 8 to November 18, 2017
