interface was an exhibition of contemporary textiles selected by the jeweller, Susan Cross. Her aim with the exhibition was to explore the work from both different cultures and also different craft disciplines. As well as featuring in the exhibition alongside Marian Bijenga, Polly Binns, Sara Brennan, Katri Haahti and Chiyoko Tanaka who represented Britain, Japan, The Netherlands and Finland; it is clear that Cross is drawn to abstraction and the use of material that has been constructed. The catalogue itself is a useful reference for the above artists and an interesting and striking selection of work.

The Fabric of Myth NEW!
Comton Verney
Pub. Compton Verney
Price £15.95 paperback
Available now! This is a stunning book bound in fabric and was published on the occasion of the exhibition "The Fabric of Myth" at Compton Verney. In an age when textiles have become part of a throwaway culture, this exhibition uncovers the sometimes long forgotten language of fabric and highlights the currency which the medium retains. The themes from these myths are explored in work from 400BC to the present day by artists as diverse as William Morris, Henry Moore, Bispo Do Rosario and Louise Bourgeois. We love this one in the Guild Bookshop!
