Mark Corfield-Moore's first solo show at Kate MacGarry
Swan Song, the inaugural solo exhibition by Mark Corfield-Moore, is showcased at Kate MacGarry. This collection delves into themes of transience, transition, and uncertainty. Rather than using the conventional resist-dyeing of threads, Corfield-Moore innovatively paints directly on unwoven fibers, a technique honed during his time in Thailand. This approach results in a visually glitchy disruption where warp and weft intersect in a state of transformation. The artworks also feature phrases that encourage a fragmented comprehension, reflecting the artist's journey within the Thai-British diaspora.
