Thread — Tangles/detangles

The exhibition brings together work by artists from the Naarm Textile Collective who explore the possibilities of thread in their work.

Thread — Tangles/detangles explores tangible and intangible connections, processes and techniques. Transformed through knitting, weaving, looping and stitching, threads carry significant personal and cultural narratives.

Each artist will use their unique perspective and textile discipline to follow a different thread, wherever it may lead them.

It aims to encourage viewers to rethink their relationship to thread, be aware of its materiality, its possibilities and limitations.
