Dual Impressions
TFAM 2024 Exhibit
Artists interpret the world in different and unique ways, sharing their viewpoint and inspiring reflection.
The most important difference between artistic styles is that each style expresses the creator’s feelings or emotions. A style may be realistic, impressionistic, expressionist, or abstract, to name a few. View the variety of artistic expressions represented here by TFAM partners.
Artist Invitation to Enter:
Find a partner, and select a theme (inspired by an image, idea or issue) that speaks to both of you.  Each partner is to make a fibre artwork in the artistic style of their choice, expressing their response to the selected theme.  Each interpretation can, and most likely will, be very different. The two partners’ artwork must be the same height and width, but can vary in depth. Ensure that any image or idea is copyright free.
See: https://www.wallartprints.com.au/blog/9-popular-styles-of-art/ for more detail on art styles.

Finding a Partner....
