Hillu Liebelt, a London-based textile artist, has produced a new series of tapestries and textile sculptures. First exhibited at the Hishio Centre for Cultural Exchange in Katsuyama, Japan, Hillu’s new exhibition entitled ‘Delicate Matters‘ begins a new tour in the UK this month.

‘Delicate Matters’ is showing at the Platform Gallery in Clitheroe, Lancashire from 24 January to 7 March 2009. The exhibition can also be seen at Black Swan Arts in Frome, Somerset from 9 May to 13 June 2009.

To coincide with the new tour, Hillu and I have worked together to update Hillu’s portfolio website with images of her new textile artworks:

• New cuttings gallery
• Eight new tapestry works
• Two new works in sculptures and models
• Photos of Hillu’s ‘Dance’ sculpture installed at her recent exhibition in Katsuyama, Japan

I originally designed and built Hillu’s site in July 2007 using WordPress as a CMS, which I ’skinned’ with a bespoke theme. The image galleries are built using the Popup Image Gallery plugin by Andy Staines.

Hillu’s site runs on WordPress, which I ’skinned’ with a custom WordPress theme. The bulk of the site content is contained within seven image galleries of Hillu’s textile work. The archive of gallery images was edited in Photoshop for levels, colour, contrast and sharpening.
