Welcome to Crossing Threads

Crossing Threads® is the collaborative work of Lauren and Kass Hernandez, Australian-born sisters of Filipino heritage based in Sydney.

These self-taught tapestry artists first explored the practice of weaving in early 2015 by attending a beginner’s workshop. Since then, through extensive experimentation fuelled by curiosity, passion and collaboration,

Crossing Threads® has evolved into a strong brand that services both domestic and international clientele. Featured by The Design Files, The Woolmark Company and SBS, the Hernandez sisters have also collaborated with The Designory and Wrangler Australia.

Known for their large-scale and highly textural handwoven pieces, the Hernandez sisters seek to emulate the natural forms found in nature. Their carefully curated fibre selections include Australian Merino wool, plant-based fibres, up-cycled/dead-stock fabrics and other foraged items that aren’t traditionally used in fibre art. Their practice has led them to develop their recognisable ‘interknot’ technique, made up of intertwining hand-knotted chains of varying texture and thickness which graduate to a relief. The artists continually draw spiritual inspiration from their surrounding landscapes and personal experiences and is materialised through their abstract designs.

Crossing Threads® aims to inspire, evoke emotion and cultivate authentic connection. Each new day brings the opportunity to ‘weave’ your reality - whatever it may be. As lives interconnect with others; each connection forms a unique thread that makes up the tapestry of life.

Through the sisters’ practice, Lauren and Kass explore both the internal and external tapestries they each possess. Their artworks are woven embodiments of this; tactile stories with fibre being their chosen medium.
