Hosiery Snip Space to a Triangular Racing Lace
Bringing feminist body politics through textiles in order to claim rights for the body. (Coming up in July 2025)
Inspired by the radical poetry of Mina Loy — artist, writer, and feminist firebrand — this exhibition threads together the personal and political, the domestic and defiant. A century after Loy called on women to speak from the raw interior of their lives, that call still echoes.
Here, fabric becomes language, the body becomes text. What was once private is now unapologetically public, stitched with memory, pain, labour, and resistance. The themes we explore here are not abstract; they are lived experiences stitched into every piece, vibrating through thread and cloth.
We insist that what has been dismissed as decoration or craft is in fact a deeply political, deeply bodily art. It invites you to see differently, to listen closely, and to stand in the presence of resistance: hand-stitched, embodied, and fiercely alive.
The gallery becomes a sanctuary, not for retreat, but for reckoning. This is a sacred space. We reclaim this site that resembles a house, echoing the domestic sphere where our ancestors’ bodies were confined, contained, and controlled. Each work holds someone’s truth, someone’s tenderness, someone’s fight. We ask visitors to enter with care, to listen deeply, and to honour the stories held in fabric and flesh. Respect is not only welcome, it is essential.
