THREAD OF MY BODY, THREAD OF MY BED

Thread of my Body, Thread of my Bed is a textiles exhibition curated by Phoebe Greaves.

Having recently experienced housing instability, I found myself daydreaming about having my bedroom again, a space that could be mine alone. I spent hours browsing through luxurious linens and decorations, creating moodboards and sketches of the private space I was longing for. I grew to appreciate the intimacy of domestic space, and the way that such a space could be curated and cared for, almost taking on a life of its own.

I aim to extrapolate that idea with this exhibition into a physical manifestation of my “dream space”, equal parts aspirational and surreal, and imbued with the stark intimacy of walking into someone's personal space.

There is a certain feeling you get when you attend a party at the house of someone you barely know, and, in search of a bathroom or kitchen, you accidentally stumble into the host’s bedroom. That is the feeling I aim to replicate with this exhibition. The physical white cube of the gallery transforms into a life laid bare, and, by extension, a psyche laid bare. The intimacy will be confronting, yet, as the viewer moves through the space, this discomfort should morph into something more familiar. The space created by these artists is subjective, and I invite you to reflect upon the following -

Can the body exterior and the domestic interior merge into one?
