Flying Party Feline Tanya Doty the National Weaving School -245mm L Wall hung Michele Irving is an artist who works primarily with fabric, combining embroidery, paint, and beads. Drawn to the versatility and colour of textiles, her practice is also influenced by a family lineage of stitching, first taught to her by her mother. Her work often features animals within whimsical, myth like worlds, layered with playful wordplay, where they dream, dance, and celebrate life.
