Description/Abstract:

The Re-Fashioned exhibition presented work by four artists that connect through the use of garments and textile making processes as a base for their work. Flattened clothing is overlaid with printed images, garments are cut-up and woven into other forms, and elements of garment and textile making processes are revealed and re-fashioned. The work explores a range of ideas including the gendered nature of textile making, clothing's relationship with identity and memory and the fragility of the human form.

The use of reclaimed garments is a major element of Shelly Goldsmith's practice. Her work responds to the idea of memory and sense of self, and draws upon psychological and forensic theories associated with the cloths we wear, such as the notion of garments being laden with the wearer’s life; memories that may be retrieved and pieced together from the substances left behind on the clothes we wear. She works in a range of textile methods from hand stitch to digital sublimation printing.
