Textiles exhibition by Noa Price
MCA-R candidate, Faculty of Creative Arts
23 June 2008 - 4 July 2008
The Faculty of Creative Arts presents an exhibition by Israeli artist Noa Price, Master of Creative Arts – Research candidate.
Noa Price has been studying with the Faculty of Creative Arts since February 2007. She attained a Diploma of Fine Craft in Surface Design at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design in 2006, after completing a Bachelor of Applied Arts at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada in 2005.
This exhibition of textile design officially opened on Thursday 26 June at 12.30pm with Professor Diana Wood Conroy speaking.
Artist Statement:
As a textile designer, my research examines designs and embellishments on the every day and sacred objects of Jewish migration. My research considers the influences, changes and interactions of migration on the decoration and the embellishments of artefacts.
In my study I examine manuscripts, Whimples, Bible pages and Jewish Marriage certificates (ktubot) across cultures, from Yemen to Israel through Europe. I look at these various artefacts with attention to the message they carry, their relevance to Jewish origins, observing the change and similarity between Jewish cultures around the globe.
I chose to follow the Jewish people reflecting my heritage and my own travelling. The exhibition “Travelling Patterns: Fabrics on the Road” at the FCA Gallery in the University of Wollongong June to July 2008, incorporates my experience as a traveller with a series of scrolls and jackets. It includes the use of micro text that symbolizes a personal connection to the past and the Jewish people who travelled before me.
