‘Material Remains’ Exhibition Catalogue (2023)
Written by Mia Palmer-Verevis, Izzy Baker and Freddie WrightMaterial Remains explores the socio-historical, archival and formal threads of fabric. It opens with Martin Kantor’s 1986 photograph of the Victorian Tapestry Workshop and ends with three works that look like fabric, but are in fact drawing, painting and stitched paper. In moving from local history to total abstraction, the slipperiness of fabric emerges: it is embedded in community; a carrier of identity and memory; and substrate that in art, eludes capture.
The exhibition catalogue features three essays, written by Mia Palmer-Verevis, Izzy Baker and Freddie Wright. Design by Alexis Infeld.
