Exhibition Description
An Uncommon Thread brings together ten artists who reimagine materials in unexpected ways, using fabric, found objects, and sculptural forms to create deeply textured works rich in symbolism. The exhibition highlights the transformative nature of textiles and unconventional materials, exploring how they can convey history, resilience, and interconnectedness. A highlight of the show is Lindsey Mendick’s I Asked You Not to Hurt Me (2025), an immersive installation inspired by Greek mythology that critiques exploitation and overconsumption. Accompanying the exhibition is a dynamic public program exploring process, materiality, and storytelling, inviting viewers to engage beyond the gallery walls.
