Marguerite Gignoux’s exhibition, Evidence , presents a series of textile collages that investigate the theme of mapping memory. To create these works the artist used repurposed fabrics, papers, photographs and text, employing both machine- and hand-stitching. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an elongated wall-mounted book that explores the language of grief. Gignoux’s mixed media works are inspired by stories, poems, and memory that speak of personal loss, growth, and wonder.
