The Mage is a contemporary textiles show exploring magic and transformation in everyday life across 2D and 3D forms. It utilises hand embroidery, mask making and soft sculpture.

It is about women who lived wild, bold lives making alternative possibilities visible

It is about deeply connecting with nature (remembering we are animals too)

It is about moving like a river, or a tide, or a dog instead of a human with an appointment to keep

it is about re-finding the invisible by using our senses

It is about the joy that comes from contrast

And finding magic in the minute.

This show has been created as the first iteration of my Create SA fellowship project – Becoming the Magician
