Arrange Whatever Pieces Come Your Way (Sheelagh Boyce & Annabelle Harty)

Info: Arrange Whatever Pieces Come Your Way is a creative partnership and a, philosophical approach to art, famously attributed to Virginia Woolf. It signifies taking the ordinary, fragmented, or reused materials of life—and textiles—to construct new, meaningful forms. The cooperation of Sheelagh Boyce and Annabelle Harty highlights the beauty of reconstructing memories and architectural forms into handsewn quilts. A subtle and sublime dialogue that begins with the relationship between the fabrics chosen and a particular building. Created through re-used materials and textiles, that are subjected to processes of de- and reconstruction, the presented works echo the history of abstract painting and modernist art, while intertwining their status as image and object. They highlight the moment of finding a form and with it the immersion in a previously unconscious world. A world composed – much like architecture, or painting – through structures, lines, color, referential fragments, and transformation.
