Shoe-ing Off Exhibition

Throughout September Fibrant members have been working on shoe art for our upcoming display at the Bassendean Memorial Library from 2 October to 23 November.

"The Red Shoes"

'Shoe-ing Off' is a new exhibition of fantasy and creativity with shoes being the theme.

The members of FIBRANT have let their imaginations run wild and applied their extensive knowledge and abilities to create fancifull and whimsical shoes as art works.

FIBRANT has always had a philosophy of recycling and reusing everyday objects and reinventing them into fun art works. Shoes and footwear have been altered, embellished and reassembled to works of art....if only we could always wear them this way!

Here are some of the wonderful creations by Fibrant members.
