Distortion Society is pleased to present ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐, ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐๐๐, an experience of soft sculpture installations from textile artist Holly McCabe .art , curated by Jaime Ransome .curator โจ McCabe works with vintage cloth and contrast topstitching to create viscerally and compassionately manipulated wall-mounted soft sculptures. Each work is meticulously crafted from vintage materials, discarded and donated, then revived in McCabeโs studio. Scraps of cotton, wool, polyester and faux leather have been salvaged by the artist and pieced together into something deserving of love, attention, and care. Every seam is a scar repaired through time and care between McCabeโs thoughtful fingers.
These variable, modular installations are created and installed through an intuitive process of physical manipulation: bending, tearing, patching, and stretching each fabric to reflect and adhere to the properties of the next. Enriched by punk DIY values and informed by her digital and studio arts education, McCabeโs work embodies the raw emergence of self that comes from processing chaos, rebellion, self-care, and cathartic self-expression.
