The New Quilt 2024 Preview: Jill Miglietti
Do you really need this? by Jill Miglietti of Frankston South, Victoria is made from torn, glued, stitched and stitched privacy envelopes.
Using an array of fibre and textile techniques, Jill constructs two- and three-dimensional artworks that portray her responses to the physical, external world and her inner, emotional being. Her work expands ideas about memory, identity and the passing of time by manipulating materials and forms into embodied narratives that feel instinctive and familiar. The processes of reduction, abstraction and repetition build surfaces and structures that evoke the essence of place, of lived experience and of memory. Physical and metaphorical layers are assembled from cloth along with found objects, text and other media to expand the dynamic space between two and three dimensions. With work in public and private collections, Miglietti has been exhibiting since completing a Diploma of Textile Art in 2012. Her work has also appeared in Australian and international publications.
