Reclamation is a group exhibition featuring four artists who each explore the theme of reclaiming the physical, psychological, or spiritual.
Through a variety of mediums—ranging from furniture restoration and upholstery to painting, lino cutting, and tufting, the exhibition highlights the power of reclaiming what has been lost, overlooked, or undervalued. By showcasing both traditional craft and contemporary art, Reclamation fosters an engaging dialogue between innovation and heritage.
This exhibition showcases an exciting mix of artistic practices that bridge the gap between fine art and craft, offering viewers a unique experience of multidisciplinary creativity.
Artists Alice Stewart, Tegan Ford, Rebekah Bailey and Marce King explore the theme through furniture restoration, painting, lino cuts, and textile art. This diversity in mediums not only promotes innovation but also highlights the breadth of craftsmanship and artistic excellence within their practices.
Reclamation embodies a high level of conceptual awareness, as each artist grapples with the act of reclaiming something personal, whether physical, psychological, or spiritual. The exhibition encourages viewers to reflect on their own relationship to loss, renewal, and transformation. The varied interpretations of reclamation—from restoring physical objects to reclaiming identity or spiritual clarity—provide a rich and layered viewing experience that resonates on both individual and collective levels.
