Carly Tarkari Dodd’s latest work features seven chunky woven soft sculptures that speak to the survival and revival of traditional weaving practices. Once lost for generations in her family, the practice has re-emerged through reconnection and cultural remembering. Each form is stitched using methods that mirror the way rushes were traditionally woven honouring ancestral technique while embracing material experimentation. The works celebrate weaving not only as a method of making but as a living act of cultural resilience. Over time, materials may change, but the significance of the stitch remains. For Dodd, as long as the stitch endures, so do the stories, knowledge, and people it connects.
