Karlie Simring - Unseen

EXHIBITION CATALOGUE

Karlie Simring is an artist and designer based in Inner Sydney on Gadigal Land. Holding a Bachelor of Fashion and Textile Design, Karlie has enjoyed a creative career as a Senior and Head designer in the fashion industry for more than 25 years. Her early education also included a year at the National Art School. More recently, Karlie has explored various creative mediums, including watercolour, ceramics, basketry & weaving. Now an emerging artist, she creates contemporary textiles, focusing on surface embroidery. Art and design are Karlie’s guiding passions, with the world of textiles continually inspiring her process. Drawing from her experience in fashion, she infuses her work with a considered sense of colour, form and detail. Karlie’s process is intuitive, as she explores and observes her surroundings. Her art is an interplay of line, texture and tone, creating stories with a deep appreciation for materiality and tactility. Mark making with thread, brings the viewer into her inner world.

Noticing the thread of beauty and connectedness in our day to day – shapes repeating in nature, the cosmos and the unconscious. Playful forms emerge from my inner world of imagination and connect with the outer world creating a new utopia to inhabit. My hope is that the artworks invite the onlooker to feel wonder and curiousity through the exploration of line, colour and form. I apply traditional and exploratory techniques to reimagine thread and cloth. - Karlie Simring.
