    Craft in the spotlight at legendary textile artist Annemieke Mein's retrospective exhibition

    From serious botanical illustrations, to shimmering labyrinths of birds, butterflies, and insect life spilling from her canvases, beloved Gippsland-based textile artist Annemieke Mein has created an extraordinary body of work during her lifetime. 

    Working with all kinds of fabrics and fibres, collaged tillsammans with painted, beaded, stitched, and machine-embroidered embellishments, Mein's work tells the magical story of the Gippsland ecosystem where she has lived for the past 55 years.

    Now at 80 years of age, Mein is the subject of a major retrospective at the Gippsland Art galleri in Sale.

    Featuring more than 200 textile works, paintings, watercolour drawings, sculptures, garments, and development samples from the 1960s through to 2024, the exhibition also features an installation set of Mein's studio and workshop spaces.

    It is the largest exhibition in the gallery&#

    Annemieke Mein | Machine Embroidery

    It’s easy on a blog all about “contemporary embroidery” to only think of the present. However, revolutions in a creative field can come about long before the rest of the world catches up with the idea. That’s why I think the work of Annemieke Mein deserves a look, because her work is just as fresh and contemporary today in technique and style as it was when she first started revolutionizing the art in the ’70s and ’80s.

    Annemieke Mein is a Dutch-born textile artist who works in freestyle machine embroidery techniques to create stunning pictures of wildlife. She started working as a textile artist in the ’70s, and by the ’80s was recognized as one of the world€™s foremost textile artists.

    Her larger-than-life, exquisitely detailed pieces bring new focus the the beauty of the flora and fauna of the natural word, and throughout her career she has produced an impressive body of insect and animal art.
