Interlace focuses on contemporary interpretations of lace. The concept of the show developed by the National Craft Gallery is to explore how traditional material culture creates a resonant source for contemporary practice. This is one of a series of exhibitions to take traditional or vernacular practice as a starting point.
The exhibition includes work by Saidhbhín Gibson and Caroline Schofield, whose practice straddles fine and applied art, Róisín de Buitléar's etched glass vessels based on vernacular lace patterns, fashion designer Natalie Coleman, textile artist’s Anita Elliot, Helen McAllister and Cathryn Hogg and Patty Murphy ceramics.
