Visited two very different exhibitions as well as quick look into BM - partly to take more images of the loo doors - find them fascinating especially as they are in the British Museum making their anthropological mark!!
Ravel Row - The Stuff That Matters - textiles collected by SethSiegelaub for theCentre for Social Research on Old Textiles. Beautiful venue in an old merchants house in Spitalfields - a fitting locations for such an exhibition. Huge array of things from coptic, woven silks, velvets and brocades through to chasulble, embroidered items, tapa cloths and an exciting collection of head dresses. A collection for study as well as the sheer beauty.
The second exhibition was at the CAA - Contemporary Applied Arts in Percy Street. Matthew Harris - embroiderer/stitcher along with Cleo Mussi - mosaics. Lovely exhibition space displaying the wrok really well. Love his work - it appears so simple but of course isn't, has a very strong Japanese feel to it.
