Place after Pattern after Place | Thaís Muniz and Laura Vaughan at Glór

This summer, glór is happy to invite two textile artists, Thaís Muniz and Laura Vaughan, to respond to the use of patterns and repetition in fabric designs, and how it can connect us to places.

Laura Vaughan is a Clare-based designer and artist who creates her own digital prints based on landscape scenes from the Irish West. She uses her designs to create household objects that bring rural Ireland into the home. Thaís Muniz is an interdisciplinary artist and designer interested in Afro-diasporic connections, identity, belonging and migration. She works with unique fabrics acquired around the world that tell of identities and the histories of the communities they come from.

The two artists came together to tell stories of nature and culture. The patterned fabrics allow us to reflect on, and better understand the places they originate from.
