Section of J VALENZUELA DIDI'S painting 'Splitting at the Seams' as part of his current solo exhibition. "I have a folder that I fill with interesting pictures of everyday moments. As I’ve returned to this file over the years, I’ve found that the images have evolved over time. I have altered and displaced the figures in these pictures to echo a transformation. An approach that gives rise to a dreamlike atmosphere where reality, memory and illusion collide." – J Didi

NIKI McDONALD has given the traditional tapestries a strong sculptural presence, they stand, asking us to look twice and consider the seemingly compliant expressions of the subjects they portray. Niki likes to think that the figures represented are plotting and scheming their way to an autonomous and expressive future, that they are quietly changing the common thread, stitch by stitch, for generations of women to come.
