SICK AF

SICK AF

Curation

Exploring the languages and personal stories of illness and the process of healing, through the medium of textiles and craft. The healing arts places craft firmly within their discipline for recovery, though medical language coldly straddles the tactility and expressive ability of craft.

The artists/crafts practitioners in this exhibition will identify as having gone through a life changing illness or event. Their language of pain, of hope, of despair, of resilience, is intrinsically embedded into their work. Their creations are a refuge for their existence and their journey.

SICK A.F. will share their story.
