with every sinew
Exhibition of new artworks by Ben Hartley and Cassie Ireland. Quiet handworked rituals in resistance to a machine-made reality.
In their upcoming exhibition, Ben Hartley and Cassie Ireland present speculative craft as a site of resistance. By grafting salvaged car parts into animal hides and weaving electrical cables into tactile mats, the artists combine by-products and waste from industry and fold it back into a proximity of human care.
From hand-knit gossamer nets to spiritual protective armour sewn from rabbit skin, ‘With every sinew’ recovers an ancient rhythm of making, a quiet, ritualised labour that stands against the friction-less output of mass production in the modern world.
Join us for the opening night 📅 Thursday 16th April, 6-9pm
📅 Exhibition continues Friday 17th - Sunday 19th April.
