‘An Uncommon Thread’ features ten UK-based contemporary artists, highlighting the transformative power of unconventional mediums in evoking personal and collective memories. Each artist places an unwavering commitment to the integral role materials and techniques play in their creative process, employing unexpected painting surfaces, adapting formal craft traditions, and repurposing discarded products into compelling works. Through investigations of identity, tradition, nature, fantasy, and the environment, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the rich stories woven into each work, driven by a curiosity and inventive approach to materiality and process.
