ATB 4 exhibition at the Richmond Art Gallery
exceeded all expectations.The gallery was pleased by the high
attendance and most of the people who signed the visitor's book wrote
in superlatives. Here is a sampling of some of the comments:
“What a treat to see the high level of
international tapestry, and the personal/cultural variations in
interpretation of this ancient art.”
“Each piece is more beautiful than the last.
I have a renewed appreciation for tapestry.”
“Great craftsmanship and maintaining
worthwhile traditions with the addition of freedom of expression in
colour and design.”
“Good range of contrasts-both visually and
technically.”
“It was worth coming from New Zealand just to
see this amazing display.”
“Best show at Convergence.”
Convergence provided the opportunity for tapestry
weavers to meet old and new colleagues, to participate in workshops and
seminars and to marvel at the diversity of tapestries being created
today.
