Displayed works appear to be in progress, allowing manufactured artefacts to become open, honest (occasionally satirical) independent narratives themselves. It may be that ‘the medium is the message’ since artists use textiles or canvas (the media used for centuries in the art of fashion) as a way to convey differently angled narratives and reveal individual/independent perspectives on this complex subject matter which is constantly physically and conceptually manufacturing our lived experiences. But here textiles are not wholesale; here stories have space (and time) to present and expose themselves in greater depth. This project is an indirect response to the artist David Raymond Conroy’s residency at Seventeen gallery.
