Thick Seams is a two-person show of new artworks by Freya Gabie and Alida Kuzemczak-Sayer at Hungate Medieval Art, Norwich.
A series of tactile sculptures and interventions will explore the medieval 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 will attempt to map this archaeology through an excavation 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.
Thick Seams was the recipient of a ncas Small Grants Award in 2025. For more information on Small Grants click here
