Emotional Objects explores the transformative and affective potential of textiles. The works in the exhibition employ methods of construction, de-construction, and re-forming to re-imagine garments, samplers, and practical everyday items and affirm their potential to express emotions often unsaid. Through employing sensual experiences such as scent and touch, the works in the exhibition inquire trauma, queerness, witchcraft, and land sovereignty.
