Out Back features a series of quilted textiles by artist Lyn Guy depicting images of the Australian outback taken while travelling in her motor home. Each work features self-dyed silks and threads reflecting the unique palette of colours present in Australia’s rich, remote and diverse landscape. By collaging tiny pieces of silk with fluid stitching, Guy builds striking visual scenes that show a country both familiar and diverse.

Out Back is part of the 2021 Craft Contemporary satellite program, proudly hosted by Boroondara Arts.
