Mapping Colour - An Exploration of Plant Dyes. Lizzy Leckie

Lizzy is a new to the gallery artist for 2025 and we are really anticipating learning more about Lizzy’s practice and seeing her works in the flesh. Lizzy is a dye artist and a weaver……..you never know what that can produce!
The exhibition is composed of weavings, dyed hanks of fibre, plants, assorted fibres and clays. Lizzy describes it herself:

This installation maps place and time, capturing the unexpected results discovered from dyeing with harvested roadside weeds, fallen trees, and carefully cultivated plants.

While the installation is a scientific study, I want the viewer to be primarily captivated by the magic and creativity in nature. The unique colour vibrations and the texture of the dyed fibres.
