It’s Pulling Me Apart, This Time, 2023 / Courtesy of the artist , Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London and Gallery Kendra Jayne Patrick
In TL;DR, the first European solo exhibition of US based artist Qualeasha Wood, the artist brings together traditional craft techniques and contemporary technology to create jacquard tapestries and tuftings (a type of modern rug) which all explore racial, sexual and gender identity, particularly in relation to the Black femme body. Through these foundational themes Wood then poses questions about safety, vulnerability, fetishisation and surveillance, all of which are now intertwined with our consumption of mass media.
