is opening this Saturday 24 October. You’re invited to join us for an artist talk with Linda Marie Walker from 1pm, with the exhibition opening to follow at 2pm.

“Linda Marie Walker’s stitched, knitted, and layered cloths speak through line: stitching happens by following a line, knitted loops are layered to build density. Attending to each moment of making, responsive to colour, texture, and surface, she creates cloths that allude to memory as they articulate the space of wall or floor” - Kay Lawrence
