I Do It and You Do It Too

This exhibition seeks to present a material, technical, conceptual, social and synchronous inquiry into the possibilities of photography, textiles and their intersection. It magnifies processes, properties assembly and the perpetual transformation of understanding and value.

Tess Rogers, Alaiya and Red de Rooij work within textile and photographic mediums, investigating historical and contemporary functions, techniques and theory in these fields. Their practices honour lineages of intergenerational and community connection, expanding on technical knowledge and cultural heritage. They work with consideration of historical and industrial textile production, and the distribution of this labour amongst geographical, racial, gendered and class lines. Their exhibition magnifies the processes, properties and assembly of the artworks, illuminating materiality within textiles and photography, and the perpetual transformation of understanding and value.
