Jade Pegler’s work with paper and textiles combines a range of techniques including papiermache, bookbinding, hand and machine stitching, collage and origami - she lives in Wollongong, Australia - which is by the sea and not far from the big city.

She has a wide range of work - from fabric and mixed media, to wonderful whimsical drawings, to altered books and paper sculptures. There is something in her work that speaks of nature, the environment - is it her unbleached fabrics, worn and weathered papers, and organic forms.

these are stuffed drawings - more textiles

this is an inside out book

sculptural piece from a series titled desolation row made of papier mache, wood, wire, more paper, fabric and threads, in a show in Sydney titled IT”S PAINTING SO IT MUST BE GERMAN.
