Fifteen internationally renowned artists explore a medium foreign to their usual practice, experimenting within the lost world of wallhanging tapestry for the exhibition, ‘Demons, Yarns & Tales’.
Three years in the making, these tapestries address a range of subjects from fictive landscape and architectural abstraction to fashion and flora, while also considering the politics of race, gender, conflict and the environment.
Adjusting to the new medium and adapting to unfamiliar textures and surfaces, each artist has found ways to expand their practice and develop the ongoing themes in their work. ‘Demons, Yarns and Tales’ sees them translate familiar languages of paint, paper, pencil, ink on canvas, ceramics or wood panel into that of hand woven stitch and silk thread.
