‘Theory of pearl’

Enquire

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.

Using thread and cotton, George translates fleeting impressions—shadows, water stains, and the flush of a cheek—into poetic, abstract landscapes. These textiles function as large-scale, net-like assemblages, where layers of raised stitches create a sculptural monumentality. Their undulating surfaces and meticulous detailing demonstrate a fluid interplay of color and composition, as intimate gestures coalesce into immersive, textural worlds.

Through ‘Theory of pearl’, George reaffirms her dedication to materiality and process, pushing the limits of embroidery to reveal its potential as both a storytelling device and a sculptural form. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the artist’s work at an ambitious scale, where textile becomes both a tactile record of time and a dynamic presence in space.
