An exhibition of wooden and metal quilts
About
The quilt has a rich history that crosses many social and cultural boundaries.
For some it is the means of expressing personal themes and ideas; for others a rich social tradition in which communities come together in fruitful collaboration. For Mark Lomax the quilt is both of these. However, Lomax creates his quilts from materials more commonly used in the building trade. Cement, filler, wood, wire and metal sheeting are combined with paint and recycled textiles to produce the rich surfaces and intricate textures that make up his finished pieces. The quilt is the perfect vehicle for exploring Lomax's interests in memory, personal and social identity, history and culture.
