Anne Wilson - Witworth Gallery

Anne Wilson is a contemporary artist who uses a variety of everyday materials (hair, thread, glass) in conjunction with traditonal Handprocesses. Her exhibition 'Walking the warp Manchester' is a production of the warping process to create a woven fabric.This piece is communcating the lack of textile production in North West England.
This exhibiton was perfect for Manchester, obviously becuase of the now non-existant textile industry.  This comment on the industry ties in with my thoughts of taking inspiration from the Bangladesh culture. When the industry left Manchester, it became a derelict run down and now student city. Curiously I wonder what would happen to the country Bangladesh, or actually would it even be relevant because of the social situations are different? I will have to future investigate !
