Creature Comforts

An exhibition of daring contemporary textiles, featuring 14 artists 9 Nov 2022 - 21 Jan 2023 JGM Gallery presents Creature Comforts, a group show of 14 artists working with a variety of textile mediums

Creature Comforts presents works by artists who subvert the assumptions about textiles, imbuing their work with strangeness, energy and intensity.
