The group exhibition, “A Stitch in Time”, brings together works by a new generation of artists working in the genre of fibre art today. These artists seek to defy classification and challenge artistic hierarchies. Some embrace specific techniques and heritages to incorporate layers of meaning into their work, whilst others push the boundaries of traditions and perceptions of the medium. By elevating embroidery and sewing craft techniques, they transform ready-made and second-hand fabrics into powerful reflections on identity and social issues.
As Katie Heller, Art and Exhibitions Manager says, “This exhibition reflects our ethos here at Paul Smith; it speaks to the growing recognition of fibre-based practices within contemporary art. In showcasing works by artists from diverse backgrounds, we seek to demonstrate our commitment to supporting artists who challenge conventions, honour heritage, and offer new perspectives on the world around us.”
