Talitha Kennedy consistently works with black leather for its tactile corporeality and macabre context to embody the fraught intimacy with the natural world. Her hand stitched soft sculptures simultaneously lifeless and budding with new growth personify natural forces in a constructed world. Stitching is translated into drawing in Talitha’s work on paper where intuitive ink markings follow the wrinkles and slopes of crumpled paper to conjure things in flux such as decay, cobwebs or fleeting shadows.
