A project of the SAQA Fergus Pod

The work of 5 groups of textile artists is displayed here for a total of 25 pieces.

The first member of each group received a photo by email. That person created a 12 x 12” piece inspired by the photo. This person was the only person to see that photo.

After a maximum of two months to complete that piece, the artist sent a photo of their work to the second person in the group. Then that person created a piece inspired by that piece.

Then the process was repeated until five pieces are completed by each team.

Only after all the teams completed the five pieces were the 25 pieces and the original photos revealed to all! Lots of surprises!
