Description/Abstract:

From the late 1960s to the 1990s Mary Farmer was at the forefront of radical textile art, creating striking, abstract tapestries. She was fascinated by the subtle surface textures and depth of colour achieved by working in wool and looked to create what she called ‘a single clear statement’ in her pieces. This exhibition provides a rare opportunity to explore Mary Farmer’s work and comprises nine tapestries from her estate and one further piece from the Centre’s own collections. The exhibition celebrates the donation of the Mary Farmer archive to the Crafts Study Centre.
