Neon Parc is thrilled to present ‘Theory of pearl’, Teelah George’s major solo exhibition at Neon Parc Brunswick. ‘Theory of pearl’ presents six new, meticulously hand-embroidered textiles framed in unique bronze supports.
Renowned for her intricate stitchwork and textural depth, Teelah George’s latest works push the boundaries of textile as a medium, merging painterly abstraction with the labor-intensive craft of embroidery. In ‘Theory of pearl’, each piece is framed in cast bronze supports, transforming the relationship between textile and structure. No longer a passive border, the frame extends into the composition, pulling it beyond its surface and into space.
The title, ‘Theory of pearl’, reflects George’s years of practice and research, emphasising the necessity of contemplative time and labour in the creation of works. Much like the way pearls are formed—when a grain of sand enters an oyster and is alchemically transformed—George’s embroideries are built up slowly over time to create immersive, textural worlds.
