These Softly Framed offers a selected snapshot of contemporary textile practice by nine artists. The exhibition seeks to contextualise and examine the resurgence of textile work in recent years in Aotearoa in which practitioners utilise soft materials and craft techniques such as embroidery, whatu, rug making, knitting, drawn-threadwork, patchwork, and weaving to frame stories about identity, whakapapa, gender, language, mental health, place, as well as the making process itself and the vital part that our hands play in the transformation of materials.
