Lalla Ward's Vanishing Act

LallaWard 

has a new exhibition coming up at the National Theatre called Vanishing Act

It's staged as an encore applauding

Lalla's penchant for flora, fauna and fibre so admired in her previous exhibitions. 

Lalla's exquisitely stitched textile pieces capture the amazing ability of many animals, reptiles, amphibians and insects to blend in with their natural environments.

It's a clever idea, brilliantly executed.

The camouflage theme plays out across a wide variety of materials ranging

from hand turned wooden bowls to meticulously stitched moths.

Lalla's work has a curious impact on the viewer.

It draws you in as you look ...again and again... to find
what's hidden in plain sight

Viewers often ask Lalla how she creates her pieces. So as a new feature of the exhibition, Lalla will stage a mini-mock-up of her work space, offering a behind the scenes glimpse of  the tools, materials and techniques that she uses to stitch the pieces.
