ART GALLERY
Working through a meticulous and sustained process of stitching, [Garfen] creates carefully constructed works that explore themes of profound human, social and historical significance. Drawing on the visual language of everyday objects and domestic materials, Garfen recontextualises familiar elements, displacing them from their habitual functions and transforming them into vehicles for new and often unsettling layers of meaning.
