David Simon Contemporary is pleased to present this refreshing solo exhibition, Mick Lindberg's third show with the gallery. This moving body of work, created in textiles, touches on themes of positive emotion and sense of hope: 'In the stitches of my images, I hope that the layers within each piece, that other-worldly essence, will reach the imagination that each viewer possesses."
The unique compositions in cloth and thread by this Swedish-born artist depicts narratives in an almost painterly manner, making use of pattern and texture from her archive of vintage and antique fabrics. At the same time, the quality of stitching and intricate layering of materials makes each piece an exquisitely finished accomplishment. The faces that appear in Lindberg's compositions are engaging and the clever combination of materials and embroidered detail have, sometimes, a folkloric heritage. This is an exhibition that will not fail to arouse an emotional response. "Hope is a Waking Dream".
