Repetition in Rebuilding

Reception: Saturday, February 15, 2025 | 2 — 4pm

Research as an intimate act. We un-weave, re-weave, only to un-weave again. Working in collaboration with found objects, I am constantly seeking the knowledge that is held in the body of textiles, held in the body of the home. This rebuilding and un-building, reveals how much I don’t know, making it a process that is never complete. Kate Ritchie’s exhibition Repetition in Rebuilding explores the concept of home as a dynamic space woven from intimacy and affection. 

Featuring an array of materials, including pressed textiles and domestic fragments, the exhibition invites visitors to experience the gentle yet persistent act of reconfiguration. Attendees are encouraged to engage with the process, reflecting on their own vulnerabilities and the potential for renewal through this practice. The exhibition serves as a celebration of the intricate relationship between dismantling and creating, inviting a deeper understanding of what it means to build a home.
