Exploring the artist’s practice of suturing materials that have been fractured or divided, this exhibition highlights a lifelong commitment to radical feminist enquiry
About
Throughout her life Dinah Prentice has explored the concept of piecing together fragments. Working with fabric, canvas, text or paper she sutures materials that have otherwise been fractured or divided.
Research and Cultural Collections are delighted to present a new exhibition of works by Prentice reconsidering a pivotal moment in her career in the 1970s when she began using textiles as well as collage. This piecing together of materials became the root of a lifelong commitment to a radical feminist enquiry as an alternative approach to the avant-garde art historical canon.
