Essentially Unbound

Essentially Unbound

Solo exhibition ‘Essentially Unbound’ 20 december – 1 December 2024 at Maya Frodeman Gallery. 

“The visual weightlessness of this body of work, especially in the face of the time and planning that goes into each piece, also lends to the exhibitions’ title. Kemp uses the warp quite minimally in many of these works. Because of this, these works are literally less bound, and more sculptural. The result is most often otherworldly forms, as with Electric Move (2022) and Breaking the Silence (2023). Kemp’s technique anchors her materials, and with increasing experimentation, the works feel less and less bound by the textile art tradition and read more as innovative and cross-disciplinary sculpture.” Maya Frodeman Gallery.
