Description

-Exhibition created by Jane Langley and Carol Swords.
The paintings, drawings and artist’s book produced during this research project used the lacy teardrop shape of the popular and familiar Buta/Paisley pattern. The Buta motif, meaning ‘flower’, originated in the Safavid Dynasty of Persia (from 1501 to 1736) and was more delicate and naturalistic than its subsequent adaptation as the nineteenth century English Paisley pattern. By the early eighteenth century the motif had been conventionalised into a pyramid of flowers, which, by 1770, had transformed again into an outlined curling pointed leaf filled in with a floral pattern. Between 1800 and 1850, using Jacquard looms, the weavers of the town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, adopted the design for their woollen shawls; hence the design became known as the Paisley pattern. It is in this historical context that Mullaniff pursued a programme of investigation using the Buta/Paisley motif as a metaphor for a journey. This process acknowledged the transformation that has taken place as the pattern became subject to colonial history. As the pattern moved through the colonial trade routes and further to Scotland it continually changed.
-The exhibition was reviewed in the Times, the Daily Telegraph, Metro and the BBC Radio 4 Women’s Hour.
