Exhibition Essay Written by Carrie Mc Carthy

Jeanette Stok’s solo exhibition ‘Become’, visualises how we create barriers between ourselves and others. The exhibition showcases a comprehensive display of works, including a wearable art piece constructed from black plastic gutter guard, photographs, varieties of sculptures, and hand-drawn black and white animation that analyses the embodied knowledge within embroidery.
