CREATE, CONNECT, CROSS OVER
Crossing Threads® is the collaborative work of Lauren and Kass Hernandez, Australian-born sisters of Filipino heritage living and working on Wangal and Gadigal Land.
Known for their large-scale and highly textural handwoven pieces, the Hernandez sisters seek to emulate the natural forms found in Mother Nature. Their carefully curated fibre selections include Australian Merino wool, plant-based fibres, up-cycled/dead-stock fabrics, and other foraged items not typically used in traditional fibre art. Their practice has led them to develop their recognisable ‘interknot’ technique, made up of intertwining hand-knotted chains of varying texture and thickness, which graduate to a relief. The artists draw inspiration from their surrounding landscapes, familial relationships, and personal experiences woven into their abstract designs. Through extensive experimentation fuelled by curiosity, passion, and collaboration, Crossing Threads® has had the opportunity to share its art with many collectors worldwide.
