Dijanne Cevaal

Known for her blog “Musings of a Textile Itinerant”, Dijanne Cevaal is based in the Latrobe Valley area in Victoria but teaches worldwide, predominately in France.

Her work is inspired by nature, her surroundings, and travel. She uses dye and print techniques to turn white cloth into a multi layered textile creation embellished by hand and machine. 

Much of Dijanne’s work also incorporates stories that are the textile equivalent of written stories. The travellers’ blankets are meditations in stitch on various places travelled to, both in reality and in the imagination. 

She uses her linocut printed fabrics to create little vignettes as vehicles for the stories that are told in the bigger pieces. These pieces are also observations of the world around us.
