Textiles at GOMA exhibition

It has been a long time since I saw so many textile works in 1 exhibition, but the ongoing Contemporary Australia: Women at GOMA had quite a few. This is a taste of what is there.
A painted hessian tunnel. Sorry I didn't get the artist's name, but as I recall it was a group effort.
This is an exterior view of the above.
This piece filled a room with the billowy folds and was 2  fabric panels depicting a mother and daughter. A little like a collapsed Ron Mueck larger than life sculpture, individual hairs and features were discernible.

Bind Cole used emu feathers on mdf board for this message, 'I forgive you'.
