Clotho at Eloise Cato Gallery presents a compelling convergence of practices by Sophie Victoria, Sam Holt, Minka Gillian and Linda Sok— each artist navigating the nuanced potential of fabric as a multidimensional language. Taking its title from the mythic fate who spun life’s thread with a balance between destiny and creation, the exhibition meditates on the symbolic and material qualities of textile- it’s tactility, memory, and cultural resonance to examine themes of identity, transmutation and narrative continuity. For Victoria, interventions into the painting surface become wrapped prisms of light, a blanketed embrace of colour therapy which reflects a psychological elasticity between mental and bodily led states; Holt’s textured surfaces map the stitching loop of an artist’s hand, a palimpsest of memory recounted, distorted in the re-telling to the point of abstracted meaning; Gillian’s vessels become mummified self-manifested reliquaries. Saintly in their humanness, with manufactured charms and detritus treasured, woven as knotted spells. While Sok’s tapestries draw upon the interweaving of Cambodian diasporic memory and colonial historical records in reclamation of disrupted traditions. Silk threads are reincarnated into flags of resilience, imbued with the poetic collective power of making and transcribing anew. Revealing a shared sensitivity to fabric’s capacity to hold, conceal, and transmit knowledge. Clotho foregrounds the connective threads– both literal and metaphorical that bind material, history and meaning across diverse yet interconnected artistic vocabularies.
