Mapping Encounters
Paper thread, waxed cotton, wire, pins | 90 x 95 x 20 cm
Wandering through the landscape of everyday life, exploring the textured paths where encounters with the outside world are inevitable. By mapping and materializing these meetings and thoughts, I strive to capture their essence with a delicate paper thread, knotted tightly to emphasize the significance of their imprint. The visual and tactile experience reveals new relationships between the matter and the space that exists in between.

Solo exhibition ‘Essentially Unbound’ 20 december – 1 December 2024 at Maya Frodeman Gallery.
(Horsehair, cotton | 200 x 250 x 20 cm)
“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
