Ann Brauer, “Prairie Sky”, 2006, Quilt, 96 x 120 Inches
Ann Brauer has had an impressive quilting career for over 30 years. Based in Shelburne Falls, USA, her quilts are a celebration of captivating colour and immaculate technique. Her style constantly evolves, often reflecting the landscape and seasons around her, yet her enduring use of colour makes her work both recognisable and timeless.

Helen Thompson, “Dogs”, Wire, Natural Linen, Vintage Textiles
Surprisingly expressive dogs are completely handcrafted and made using wire, natural linen, and vintage textiles by UK-based artist Helen Thompson. The imperfections of the materials and their raw edges make the sculptures look vivacious and animated. Each stylized mutt, from stitched muzzle to threadbare tail, is one of a kind.
The sculptures are quite different in size, starting at 20cm in a sitting position, and the highest standing at 60cm.
