Satellite Projects: Physical Motifs

Physical Motifs .. A collection of works from four contemporary artists.

Artists: Arabella Strachan, Mita Chowdhury, publista, Zoe Jones.

Let us return to the analogue processes and the forms of dedication they demand, zooming in to the physical endurance behind artistic practices.

This exhibition entwines works made with rigorous, embodied actions: the forceful piercing of thick fabric, the relentless pounding of grass in paper making, and the tenacious repetition of rug tufting, unravelling, and weaving.

Each recurring visual element is a motif. Each repeated bodily action is a motif. . . . Read the full exhibition essay
