The Tide is High

Jo Hamilton
September 17, 2025 – October 26, 2025

Jo Hamilton’s crocheted portraits made her an icon of contemporary fibre art. In The Tide is High she brings that language to ocean‑leaning imagery: ripples, currents and the physical memory of tide lines translated into yarn. Hamilton’s works balance humour and gravity—long, looping stitches record time and attention while colour fields hold the eye. At Timeless Textiles the show sits within a community deeply attuned to material craft, so the conversation between process and image is front and centre. Expect bold scale, deft colour and a generous invitation to consider crochet as a drawing practice—line built up into form.
