Materiality

Emma Fitts, Polly Gilroy
and Leah Creaven

22 March – 12 April 2025

Aligning with the end of Summer, Materiality is an exhibition of bright, bold and colourful textile works, featuring Polly Gilroy, Emma Fitts and Leah Creaven. Celebrating the soft yet powerful language of fabric, Materiality infuses the gallery with energy and texture, encouraging joy into our lives before the seasons shift and our pace slows.

Working with silk, canvas and rug tufting, these three artists utilise a variety of materials, each bringing a distinct palette to life – from vibrant hues to earthy tones and soft pastels. Both organic surfaces and flat planes of pigment are used, creating contrast between these attention-grabbing works. Through playful use of dimensionality and form, these artists breathe life and tactility into the gallery space.
