Thick Seams at Hungate Art, Norwich

Thick Seams is a two person show of new artworks by Freya Gabie and Alida Kuzemczak-Sayer at Medieval Art, Norwich.

A series of tactile sculptures and interventions explore the former church of St Peter Hungate as a site of seams - layers, edges, patches and intersections - but also as a vessel, where manifold stories and sediments are held together. The work attempts to maps this archaeology through an excavation of of the embedded pasts and speculative futures of the building incorporating references to the wider material heritage of the region, such as shoe-making, weaving and monumental brass rubbing.

There will be an in-person artist discussion event with Freya and Alida at Hungate on Saturday 15th August at 6.30pm (refreshments from 6pm).

No need to book. Simply turn up.
