The textile works of Annemieke Mein display a rare standard of artistry. The artist's three-dimensional creations are works of extraordinary skill, born out of a passionate commitment to the environment. Annemieke uses an amazing variety of materials - silk, wool, fur, cotton, synthetics - carefully chosen for their color, texture, credibility and aesthetic appeal. These fabrics are then meticulously painted and stitched to faithfully reproduce her chosen subjects and to enhance the tactile quality unique to textiles. Numerous techniques are used in limitless combinations: hand and machine embroidery, dyeing, appliqué, trapunto, quilting, pleating, felting, beading, weaving and plying. About the Author: Annemieke Mein is internationally recognized as an artist and craftswoman. She was the first textile artist to be accepted as a member of both the Wildlife Art Society of Australasia and the Australian Guild of Realist Artists. In 1988, she was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to the arts. |
