Studio Brieditis & Evans have just been to Artists in Residence at Australian Tapestry Workshop in Melbourne, Australien. Here they opened the exhibition On-Going where they show textile work from solo and joint projects. For instance three of the rugs from Re Rag Rug, where they challanged themselves during twelve months to make twelve carpets in twelve different techniques and with no loom - and only in donated materials classified as waste.
