For me one of the best parts of the Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace, which I visited last Saturday, is the exhibitions. The items on display are always of such high quality, and to me, are inspirational. These collages by Onome Otite were stunning and definitely caught my eye.
In the morning I’d taken part in one of the workshops and finessed my applique and bondaweb technique - more on that another day - so it’s not surprising I was interested in these. Add in the pattern, texture and colour, and yes I was lured in - there was no way I was escaping.
The stand had the confidence to have space, and was very effective.
It was these series of large figurative collages that stole the show though - they’re as large as they look.
