Not my natural metier. Either standing still in front of a camera or being filmed talking or as here in conversation with the wonderful artist @danabarnesstudio at @sarahmyerscoughgallery . I’m far too self conscious but sometimes you just have to put your best foot forward and here I endeavoured to describe the making and inspiration behind the weaving of tapestry ‘Two Sides’. #tapestry#naturaldyeing#himalayas#@sarahmyerscoughgallery#teresahastings

THREAD Η υφαντική συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται, διατηρώντας τη σχέση της με το υλικό, τη χειρωνακτική διαδικασία και τη σύγχρονη καλλιτεχνική έκφραση. Η έκθεση THREAD στη @sarahmyerscoughgallery του Λονδίνου συγκεντρώνει έργα καλλιτεχνών που εργάζονται με φυσικές ίνες, μαλλί και οργανικά υλικά, διερευνώντας νέες μορφές και δυνατότητες της textile art. Τα έργα των @danabarnesstudio , @teresah_astings και @adrianameunie_textilework προσεγγίζουν το νήμα ως γλυπτική ύλη, μετατρέποντας την ύφανση σε χώρο, όγκο και σύγχρονη εικαστική εμπειρία. ~ THREAD Weaving continues to evolve while maintaining its connection to materiality, craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression. The exhibition THREAD at @sarahmyerscoughgallery in London brings together artists working with natural fibres, wool and organic materials, exploring new possibilities within textile art. Works by @danabarnesstudio , @teresah_astings and @adrianameunie_textilework approach thread as a sculptural medium, transforming weaving into space, volume and contemporary visual experience.

Final days of THREAD @sarahmyerscoughgallery, stories told through stems and roots, feathers and wool, iron and clay, leather and wood. It’s been an honor to show with such brilliant artists in this stunning space and a joy to hear from those of you who’ve been able to visit. Grateful. #exhibition #fibresculpture #fibersculpture #woven #contemporarysculpture

To celebrate the last week of THREAD, we are bringing you part two of our ‘Artists in Conversation’ series, this time with @teresah_astings speaking to @danabarnesstudio about her work, Two Sides.⁠ ⁠ In early 2024, Teresa Hastings spent three months in her Himalayan studio naturally dyeing the wools and fibres for her work. To achieve a natural black, Hastings steeps dried Myrobalan plums and rusted iron for up to two months before dyeing her yarns over an open wood fire. While the plum naturally yields yellow and green, the iron modifies the dye into a spectrum of greys and blacks.⁠ ⁠ During this time, daily storms caused frequent power cuts, forcing Hastings to work in the gathering dark. In her studio, she watched as lightning struck the mountains, triggering fireballs that cascaded into the river below.⁠ ⁠ Enthralled by this raw power, Hastings conceived this tapestry, Two Sides, to capture the quixotic energy of the landscape. Using iron in this weave felt like a necessary step toward realising the undulating textures of that force, while the title, alluding to the two sides of a coin, serves as a question mark over our shifting perceptions of reality, both true and false. ⁠ ⁠ Teresa Hastings ⁠ Two Sides, 2025 ⁠ Himalayan wool, Washi paper and raw soft black iron wire on steel brackets⁠ ⁠ Video by @bracket___studio ⁠ ⁠ Presented at Thread until 30 May, 2026⁠ The Schoolhouse⁠ 18 Balderton Street⁠ Mayfair⁠ W1K 6TG⁠ London⁠

RUPTURED (Out of the Blue) by Dana Barnes, presented at TEFAF New York, 2026.⁠ ⁠ Dana Barnes is an internationally renowned artist based in Lower East side New York. Previously a luxury fashion designer, Barnes works within the former studio of Abstract Expressionists Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof. ⁠ ⁠ Barnes creates three-dimensional, site-specific forms, culminating in wall pieces, rope-like hangings and woven rugs. A primary method the artist uses is ‘wet bonding’, consisting of water and friction to interlock wool fibers, transforming them into a dense non-woven material. Her surfaces are viscerally textured, in the artist’s words, ‘clotted’ and ‘cakey’. Infused with rich pigments and often melded with hard materials such as concrete, resin, rubber and clay. Such methods and experimentations render her forms as expressive records of physical presence, brimming with gestures of the maker. The scale of the pieces re-shaping the space with tactile architectural presence. ⁠ ⁠ Her work has previously exhibited to critical acclaim at The Museum of Craft and Design, San Francisco, Design Miami, TEFAF New York and R & Company’s Woven Forms at Palazzo Benzon, Venice Biennale. Dana Barnes: Untamed Gestures, was on show at the MAD Museum of Art, New York, through till February 2026. The artist’s work can be found in notable private collections across Europe, the US, China, and India.⁠ ⁠ Dana Barnes⁠ RUPTURED (Out of the Blue), 2026⁠ Merino wool, silk tussah, bamboo, enviro poxy and crystals⁠ ⁠ TEFAF New York | Stand 205, upstairs in the historic rooms | 15 - 19 May 2026⁠ ⁠ —⁠ ⁠ Ph.
