At the centre of the “Digital Adventures” exhibition, Sarah unveils her work and her creative tools and guides you in the creation of a pattern on a digital tablet. Designs, mixes, overlays… From this mosaic of images left behind by each participant a new pattern will emerge, finalised by Sarah and available to view online at www.textileadventures.com/interactive-2

Sunday 20 September at 10.30: talk and commentated visit by Sarah Arnett
Sarah draws on multiple sources of inspiration, marrying her photographic images and patterns created from scratch. Punctuated by graphic and chromatic interplays of great creative freedom, her compositions exist in infinite variety thanks to digital printing. Flamboyant and luxuriant, Modern Love fabrics are equally used in interior design as well as clothing.
