Harris and Mussi : Fifty
Fifty
12 February - 3 April
2011
Matthew Harris and Cleo Mussi have worked in
parallel and close proximity for 25 years. Both originally training
in textiles at Goldsmith’s College, they share a common language
involving the construction of whole images from fragments of cloth,
paper and reclaimed ceramic. This recent body of work, based on a
trip to Japan, continues their exploration of materials and
processes.
