Stitch Cult is an exhibition that investigates the social significance of embroidery and its practice.
This dynamic exhibition presents an Australian perspective on the contemporary uptake of embroidery by a new generation of artists whilst acknowledging the practices and virtuosity of the past. The artists in this exhibition are telling personal and social stories through their work, addressing notions of identity, ritual, myth and value.
The exhibition features recent work from Eddy Carroll, Emma Greenwood, Trudy Inkamala, Liz Payne, Demelza Sherwood, Jeanette Stock and Sera Waters; alongside historical works from the Embroiderers Guild of Queensland.
