Wonzimer is proud to present Sometimes A Wind Blows, a group exhibition exploring the diverse possibilities of textile art. The title of the show, taken from David Lynch’s Blue Velvet soundtrack, reflects the sweeping, ephemeral meditation of material on display.
Each artist showcases a wide range of techniques and media, from embroidery, weaving, painting, printing, and knitting to experimental manipulations of linen, velvet, or silk. Bringing together legacy artists with new generations of artists, this show explores the enduring appeal of textile art, as both tangibly luxurious and mysterious.
Installation, sculpture, and the inherent relationship to the surface of painting are all invoked in this exhibition. The disparate works coalesce into a shared sense of this romantic freedom offered by textiles: of the ethereal yet deeply felt whisper of wind that we interface with through fabric. An explicit sense of craft pushed into novel forms, emerges as a crucial concern in this diverse field.
From this expansive perspective, the works on display invite viewers to engage with the tactile nature of textiles, with shimmering significance in the contemporary zeitgeist. Exploring the environmental implications of material choices and through-lines of historical and cultural connection, Sometimes A Wind Blows offers a panoramic perspective on the world of textile art.
