MEET THE NEW QUILT ARTIST Habitat Drift 1,2&3 (tri MEET THE NEW QUILT ARTIST
Habitat Drift 1,2&3 (triptych) and Restless Fiery Night by Judi Nikoleski

Judi Nikoleski immersed herself in the making of creative textiles after a career change from an extensive period working in publication and internet design. She had always loved working with fabric and sewing as a creative interest and the change was a natural progression. She built upon a solid foundation in graphic design and illustration by attending multiple courses in creative textiles. This was the impetus for her many series of unique art textiles which incorporate felting, dye painting, printing, silk screening, quilting and many other textile techniques.

Since 2007 Judi's creative art quilts have been exhibited in twenty five group shows in NSW, Victoria and the USA, including two juried shows at the Manly Art Gallery NSW and two solo shows at Timeless Textiles Newcastle. Her work has received multiple awards for surface design, creative use of pigments and dyes and textile portraiture. Two of Judi's art quilts have won the Best of Show Acquisitive award at the Australian Cotton Fibre Expo. Many of her wall hangings have been purchased by private individuals. She works from her studio in Charlestown NSW.

MEET THE NEW QUILT ARTIST Comfort and Feeding the MEET THE NEW QUILT ARTIST
Comfort and Feeding the aquifer by @textile_expressions 

Water is the driving force in Alison Muir’s world. She had developed an individual style using layered 'vliesofixed' strips of cloth in the early 2000’s. 

The thesis and accompanying exhibition 'Fathoming the depths: informative textiles' presented social & environmental issues: the politics of water and an MDes (Hons) was awarded in 2010, using experimental works, questioning the audience about the messages in the textile and remaking new works for the 4 out of 12 messages which were not clear.

For the last 10 years, Muir has experimented with natural dyes and mordants, using indigo and Australian flora as the source material. Exhibitions include Quilt National 2011 and 2019 in USA, Australia Wide travelling exhibitions, Art Quilt Australia since inception and various International textile exhibitions in Europe, USA and Australia.

Muir starts with a 'water message' and the design is generated using appropriate research, techniques, colours and stitching with unconnected traditions such as dyed textiles and political comment, scientific details and text in natural dyed textile landscapes/seascapes.

All deliver messages, sometimes political and always passionate about our water environment

MEET THE NEW QUILT ARTIST Memory Crosscut by @jill MEET THE NEW QUILT ARTIST
Memory Crosscut by @jillmigliettitextileart 

Jill Miglietti is an artist with a long-established practice in contemporary fibre and textiles. She holds a Diploma of Textile Art and her work is held in public and private collections. Working from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, she translates memories and environments from her encounters with diverse locations.

Working in two- and three-dimensional modes, from layered, textured surfaces to soft sculptural forms, Jill Miglietti is concerned with psychogeography. Thematically and materially, her practice explores the many interactions between the environment and our formations of identity and memory. From slow observation and detailed recording, natural colours, textures and forms are all abstracted in the process of mapping personal experiences and narratives of specific places. Highlighting the difference between just being in a place and properly dwelling in it, her work is at once personal and universal, evoking familiarity and sparking a return, of sorts, to those treasured places where the spirit rests, the heart slows and the senses sharpen.

The New Quilt, on exhibition at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, Windsor, NSW from 5 February – 11 April 2021. 

Gallery hours: Open 6 days a week Monday, Wednesday-Friday 10am-4pm Saturday-Sunday 10am-3pm. Closed on Tuesday and public holidays.
