World of Threads Festival
Flow
2018 Exhibition: Opening
Our main 2018 festival exhibition Flow was inspired by the natural processes and rhythms of the world around us. Some works drape and hang from the ceiling, others use found and repurposed materials. These elemental works bring to mind swirling rivers, cascading waterfalls and gradual erosion. Some works evoke a universal scale with floating gas and star dust. Others are more grounded and feel like mud slides, bubbling lava, dripping sap, decaying plants and churning debris. This show was filled with the energy of one form changing into another over long periods of time.
