Bristling
Matilda Sutton
11 January - 24 February, 2024
Working between painting, drawing, textile and sculpture, Matilda Sutton weaves together narrative through image and object. Her solo exhibition Bristling brings together a new body of work which expands on a core impulse in Sutton’s practice; to investigate the boundaries of the body and the self. Rooted in both archetypal, cultural narratives, personal experience and embodiment, the imagery across Sutton’s work features beings somewhere between humanness and animalness. These images of fraught solitude and complex intimacy through means of story and object, attempt to express the tensions between individuality and connectedness, dependence and independence.
