THAT’S RUBBISH

Westbeth Hallway Gallery

October 1 – December 31, 2019
Open 24/7

“I make dress and textile art from old fabrics and found objects. I am inspired by discarded objects that I come across on a daily basis. I incorporate sewing, embroidery knitting and watercolor into my work.”

Ann Hamilton learned the crafts of sewing and knitting as a girl growing up around the West Coast of Ireland. After coming to New York City in her 20s, she worked in a variety of clothing-related jobs and honed her considerable skills. In the 1990s, Hamilton set up her own business in bridal gowns. Her dressmaking talents extend to her textile art, in which she is able to incorporate objects from nature and also pursue her interest in fashioning garments from discarded items. Hamilton has exhibited her textile art in Ireland, England, and New York City.
