Textiles are very
flexible and can be used in so many different ways. I think this is part of the fascination for
us. Functional such as clothing, curtains, towels, bedding quilting, embroidery, knitting and, of course, art. Any regular reader knows I really like objects
which subvert our understanding of the textile form and so I was thrilled to
discover Lily Lui’s work in Paducah.

With a background
in textiles and ceramics, Lily creates beautiful 3D vessel shapes from tiny
pieces of fabric, exquisitely rolled into shape and then joined together. The forms she makes are undulate, like her
fabric rolls; interesting kind of bowl shapes.
Lily’s work was
included in the Fantastic Fibers exhibition at the Yeiser Art Center in
Paducah, and also in her studio/shop ‘Created For U’, which was very close to
the Exhibition Center.

I can’t find many
details about Lily’s work online for you to look at, but I did discover this
fantastic blogpost by Rose Hughes, showing how Lily creates these beautiful
vessels. I would have loved to bring one
home, but unfortunately I had a soft suitcase.
I really need to grow up and stop using rucksacks and get a hard
suitcase so I can purchase proper art when I travel!
