London Craft Week, Catarina Riccabona: Siblings
Catarina Riccabona: Siblings, an exhibition of handcrafted paper-yarn ‘tapestries’ at 8 Holland Street’s St, James’s Park Flagship. This new body of work is site specific which weaves between the artist’s transformative, self healing practice in textiles and the personal familial relationship between her own siblings. A practice which was organically formed, from distinct patterns and clues, tracing the journey from the loom to the here and now. Siblings presents a united collection of 14 tapestries made up of 26 individual panels. The exhibition opens on Thursday 9 May 2024 at 8 Holland Street, London.
