Weaving Through Tradition
Mai Thomas
This exhibition presents examples from a new body of sculptural works by Welsh artist Mai Thomas. The inspiration for the works comes from Thomas' interest in specific natural environments, materials and craft techniques which can be found in Wales.
These range from the use of willow and fleece, the shapes of organic forms found on the banks of the River Dee (Afon Dyfrdwy) and industrial materials associated with fishing, farming and domestic life. Thomas skillfully interweaves these influences to create intriguing forms that live both in and outside the natural world.
