To represent my idea, I painted the human facial muscle structure pulling away from the face, remaining attached only by loose muscles that resemble threads.

From this project, I have learnt how to explore different materials like threads & wool, the effects they create &the universal messages behind these designs.

Collaborative artworks always take much, MUCH longer to make than I anticipate. I finished the latest one last week. Yay!

Here is a look back at an epic one from 2021/22: a community quilt made as part of an arts residency in Carnamah, Western Australia.

A community quilt made in 2021 / 2022 by textile artist Deidre Robb as part of an arts residency in Carnamah, Western Australia. The residency theme was Ebb and Flow. The quilt panels are stitched into cubes that can be arranged in many configurations. There are 12 cubes in 4 columns and 3 rows. The patches and panels on the quilt are multi-coloured and include children's drawings, embroidered landscapes, and illustrations on rust printed fabric. The artwork is displayed on a low white plinth in an art gallery. A community quilt made in 2021 / 2022 by textile artist Deidre Robb as part of an arts residency in Carnamah, Western Australia.

This view shows the 12 embroidered landscape panels placed next to each other. Eleven of the panels use green and white printed base fabric stitched with green and brown embroidery threads. One panel has blue and white fabric. These panels were stitched by local embroiderers, workshop attendees, and the artist in residence. Visible motifs include a windmill, the sun, flying birds, and trees. One of the trees is stitched in blue thread as a reference to the Blue Tree Project painted trees.
