KINdoms: textiling with the more-than-human
Curated by Patricia Brien
KINdoms: Textiling with the more-than-human is an exploration of the mesh of plant, animal, mineral and human networks across time, place and material states. It is inspired by concepts around the ‘vibrancy of matter’ and draws on New Materialist, eco-feminist and eco-phenomenologist theories.
These approaches seek to dispense with hierarchies between humans, ecosystems and all creatures great and small. Indeed, creaturesare but one category and sometimes the smallis infinitely unknowable to the human eye but perceptible to other senses. When we are attentive we may encounter the vibrant matter around us, and we can respond.
Just as there are no fixed boundaries between ecosystems, so there are no limits to the ‘porous nature of things’ (Jane Bennett). Matter converges and dissipates and humans are one of many active agents in this process. As the unchecked effects of the dominant post-industrial complex mark the epoch of the Anthropocene there is an emerging sense of urgency, a call to activism as the human species is exposed, found to be completely interdependent with other species.
Textiles embody this material and, sometimes, uncannily immaterial convergence of diverse elements. The more-than-human network embedded within cloth is legible but sometimes its actual materiality is only a trace, a stitch, a faded colour, the spectre of a sentient being, a mapping of cosmic and weather patterns. We are enmeshed in textile material cultures: on and withinour bodies, where we dwell, as we move through the world.
The themes that have surfaced in KINdoms acknowledge the complexity of relations between human geographies and more-than-human ecosystems both real and imagined. There are places and practices invoking emotional attachment, hauntings, resistance, imagination, mourning and solace. There is a strong current of time folding upon itself as the past, present and future coexist as parallel layers within a material object.
The working, mending, movement and dance conveyed through techniques including stitch, weave, dye, decomposition, recycling, and film embody processes that aren’t always immediately evident. While we may be cognisant of the cultural, political, economic and gendered relations evidenced in material objects we might reconsider our own relations beyond human networks, expanding and merging in ‘the flesh of the world’ (Merleau-Ponty).

Artists Sara Downham-Lotto and Stacey Righton show work which has been influenced by the use of natural materials in collaborations and explorations with others. For Sara, the work is a departure from painting into collage. Stacey has always been interested in using whatever materials are available; recently her palette has been the fruits of the landscape: galls, walnuts, berries.

2 November, 2018 to 9 January, 2019 in the Dartington Space Gallery
Naomi Hart studied hot glass and sculpture at the University of Sunderland’s National Glass Centre and continues to explore multidisciplinary art. Her interests lie in journey and human interaction with the world. In 2015 she was expedition artist aboard s/v Ezra, a 44′ wooden sailing boat from Cornwall to East Greenland in the remote High Arctic and in 2017/18 she was Leverhulme artist in residence, working with the ice scientists at the University of Sheffield and on research with them in Svalbard.
Statement: My work looks at human interaction with the environment, especially issues around journeys, elements, water and memory. My practice is multidisciplinary, using drawing, writing, paint, photography, sculpture and installation to investigate the world. I am particularly interested in bridging the divide between art and science.
‘ice report’ was produced during my Leverhulme residency working with the ice scientists in the Geography Department at the University of Sheffield. I have been studying ice, the cryosphere, carbon, the carbon cycle, climate change, the work of scientists, and the multiple layers of history, commerce, art and science in our understanding of the earth and our place in it.
The work is mixed media and has been made using coal dust, glacier water and cryoconite brought back in samples by researchers together with texts from academic papers, historical documents, poems, novels and other writing about the Artic.
Artist Talk: There will be an opportunity to hear Naomi speak about her work and experiences at the First Friday on 2nd November, in the gallery.
