EXHIBITION OF CONTEMPORARY TIE-DYE CREATIONS

An unusual exhibition of modern tie-dye creations will be held at the City Museum and Art Gallery starting to-morrow (Friday).

Entitled "Fabric Vibrations", the exhibition consists of 26 unique works by 10 contemporary American artists. They are the result of a combination of ancient tie-dye skills and modern synthetic materials, producing a style of vibrating colours and patterns which relate directly to today's youth culture their music, their interest in the mystical and their life style.

Among the many attractive hangings and patterned garments on

display are some three-dimensional structures. One such is called the "Meditation Tent" with a zipper to ensure complete peace and privacy, and another entitled the "Ceremonial Enclosure" a tall free standing structure with a joyous pattern inviting one to enter its space.
