Jessica Babbini-Baker explores location and capturing time through fibre art whilst reflecting on her heritage. These tapestries or ‘case studies’, allow her to observe and work presently in response to location. Depicting eroded areas that expose the Earth’s heritage serve as a metaphor in her work for exploring her own deep-time reflecting on the pressures in which we are formed.
The Hidden Wardrobe exhibition is an another avenue for recent RIPE graduates and Arches residents to continue their professional development; through a small-scale window exhibition, lasting approximately six weeks. The exhibition gives artists free rein to curate a solo exhibition: using it as a site to display a new body of work. Artists will develop a proposal and receive curatorial support throughout, as well as technical support from the ‘a space’ team.
