The New Quilt 2024 Preview: Dianne Firth

Inspired by Canberra's Floriade, Dianne Firth created Floriade #4 from handcut pieces of felt assembled between layers of net.

Dianne Firth is an artist, landscape architect and academic and is Adjunct Associate Professor with the Centre for Creative and Cultural Research at the University of Canberra. Her minimalist layered and stitched textile art is informed by her desire to portray landscape qualities that she finds in urban and rural environments. Form and colour are important in her compositions and she likes to use non-traditional materials such as net, felt, paper and foil in a symbolic manner. 

Dianne exhibits regularly in solo and juried exhibitions in Australia and internationally. Her work is held in major public and private collections.View more of Dianne's artwork at:  www.ozquiltnetwork.org.au
