M Contemporary would like to invite you to the opening of gallery artist, Joy Ivill’s solo exhibition, We’re Over, We’re Cactus. The exhibition will feature new autobiographical textile works by the artist.
Ivill’s dedication to the labour intensive process of embroidery and needlework are central to her works and recall the basis of the craft and highlight the manner in which this form has been fundamental to giving females a voice,
‘Feminist art is now political art, women now make meanings of their own, utilising the very craft employed for centuries to subdue women and keep them in their place.’ Joy Ivill
