Digital RCP Museum late: ‘Stitching science’ with Rebecca Harris
6 - 7pm
Online

Rebecca HarrisJoin artist Rebecca Harris for a discussion of her artwork currently on display as part of our exhibition ‘Under the Skin: anatomy, art and identity’, with a focus on her use of textiles to unveil what lies beneath our surface.  Through tracing our relationship with cloth, Rebecca will talk about how she adopts the material to explore not only how this everyday fabric conceals our bodies, but how, through embroidery and manipulation of the material, the works can reveal physical and psychological states.

The evening will include an introduction to our collections and exhibition from the museum team and a live Q&A with Rebecca following her talk.

Rebecca Harris is an artist, collaborator and researcher based in Cornwall, UK.  Her practice, which the artist describes as “stitching science”, explores themes within biology and psychology through the medium of textiles.  The artworks discussed form part of an ongoing body of work which examines the materiality of the fat female body and the analogous nature of cloth as skin.
