Quotes from the catalogue:
"Conversely, it (tapestry) can also be seen as a deeply subversive medium in our current context, in our 'now' world. Something which requires technical skill aquired and practised over a long period of time, something which is labour intensive yet intellectually rigorous, financially fragile . . . all this runs counter to our current cultural norms."
- Joan Baxter
  
Catalogue plus postage and packaging to:

"For all weavers there is also the everyday rhythm of going into the studio and getting on with weaving. The labour intensiveness of the medium requires an almost monastic discipline, without which the final tapestry will never appear."
- Anne Jackson
