SHARON PEOPLES<br />
Sharon Peoples has exhibited nationally and internationally over her career. In 1994,<br />
she completed a Masters (Visual Arts) in the textiles workshop at the Australian<br />
National University’s School of Art. In 2004, she embarked on a PhD in fashion<br />
theory in the former Art History Department of the ANU. She returned to making<br />
in 2010 after completing her doctorate. Since that time, she has been developing<br />
techniques in machine embroidery on soluble fabric which has resulted in lace<br />
patterning.<br />
Experimentation and research with various threads, particularly metal threads<br />
led to creating large three-dimensional forms. In 2011 this was rewarded with the<br />
inclusion of her work in the international Love Lace exhibition at the Powerhouse<br />
Museum. She has further developed these techniques culminating in a substantial<br />
body of work, which has been exhibited in a solo exhibition, Habitus. She continues<br />
to experiment with lace structures.<br />
“I have been working on gardens in my work for some time. Building a garden can<br />
be seen as a pursuit of creating utopian spaces, always striving through continuously<br />
by planting, replanting and constructing structures both natural and artificial. Often<br />
these are private spaces that we can control to a certain level, but not entirely.<br />
Bringing birds into our gardens requires almost a systematic approach and lots of<br />
hope in order to create a world where we feel some sort of peace with ourselves<br />
and the world we live in.”<br />
