What do we leave behind, take forward, carry with us? Through a selection of clothing, objects and text, Joanne Hynes explores fictional, autobiographic and creative meaning in gesture, process, and materiality. Her first solo exhibition is formed around extracts from Hynes’s fictional essays, prose, poetry and short stories. Hynes carries ideas of loss and belonging into material questioning through collecting, making and writing, investigating the notion of staying present with discomfort through process. In so doing, Hynes reflects on design thinking from 25 years in fashion, marking a point of reconciliation in her creative practice.
