Our first artist collaboration with Australian artist & designer Carolyn Quan.

The Spaces in Between is an abstract floral printed on linen by Sydney artist Carolyn Quan. Hand-painted on canvas, this design began as raw, unstructured colour and movement, before Carolyn turned the process inside out, painting the negative space around the flowers rather than the flowers themselves.

A few carefully placed petals and leaves emerge from the abstract background, creating a layered and artistic print. The result is a floral fabric that reads like a contemporary art bouquet - perfect for the sewist drawn to expressive, gallery-worthy design. A colourful medium scale floral painting on a soft blushing peach background. 

Printed on premium wide-width linen with a washed finish, The Spaces in Between has a natural texture and beautiful drape, making it just as suited to fashion garments as it is to elevated home sewing projects.

This exclusive hand-painted design is for sewists who want their fabric to feel like a genuine artwork - colourful, considered, and one of a kind.

Perfect for Statement dresses, tailored separates, art-inspired cushions, wall hangings, and modern quilting projects.

Terms

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The inherent nature of linen fabric means there are often uneven threads (slubs) and minor imperfections in the fabric. This is a natural texture and is not considered a flaw in the fabric.
For our printed fabrics it's possible that there could be minor areas that have not been printed due to small fibres or slubs.
Refunds or exchange will not be issued based on this alone, and will be at our discretion. By purchasing the product you accept these features. If you have any questions about your fabric please contact us.
