In Search of Light
27 August @ 8:00 am - 19 September @ 5:00 pm
Free
A solo exhibition by visual Karen Hamilton which translates the intangible phenomenon of light – the force that enables us to see and engage with our environment – into tangible woven textiles. Showcasing work developed throughout the artist’s undergraduate degree and new experimental weaving, Hamilton explores the characteristics of light, both artistically through colour and form, and scientifically.
The collection celebrates weaving heritage through techniques and materials, particularly linen and cotton associated with Ards and North Down. Affirming the contemporary relevance of weaving at the intersection of art, craft and science, this immersive installation invites viewers to observe light closely and experience its potential.
