An Archive of Gestures

An Archive of Gestures brings together six artistic practices exploring how materials can carry both the trace of the artist’s hand and the memory of the land from which they originate. Moving between hand-carved marble, handmade palm paper, suspended textiles, painting, assemblage and living environmental sculpture, the exhibition examines the relationship between gesture, material, memory and the natural world. Presented within L’Ambassade, the works highlight the intersection of art, craftsmanship and the living environment.
