SUMMARY:In Praise of Shadows
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by Maya Todd\, ‘In Praise of Shadows’ is an evocative exploration of the interplay between fibre and form\, where the boundaries of textiles are pushed to create three-dimensional sculptural shapes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis exhibition showcases the delicate and ethereal qualities of linen and Irish wool\, materials chosen due to their importance in local heritage. \nThrough the meticulous construction of these textiles\, the artist captures and casts shadows that continuously shift and transform\, creating a dynamic relationship between light and form. The result is a captivating dance of shadows\, inviting viewers to contemplate the transient nature of light and the subtle beauty of crafted textiles.
