Sharon Kearley and Ali Holloway are contemporary textile artists with a shared fascination with weaving both as a material process and as a cultural language.
As part of Selvedge London textile month Sharon and Ali present Ancient and Modern: A Woven Dialogue in the gallery at Town House. By bringing their work into conversation, the exhibition explores the enduring relationship between weaving, landscape and memory.
Through natural fibres, plant dyes and experimental structures, the artists reflect on the timeless act of passing thread through thread, creating cloth as generations of makers have done before them. Set within a building deeply connected to London’s textile history, the exhibition invites visitors to consider weaving not simply as a craft, but as a living link between past and present, and as a continuing language of connection, place and shared human experience.
