The Mage: Kasia Töns
Opening Thursday October 2nd, 6-8pm
The Mage explores magic and transformation in everyday life, ‘an openness to a new view of reality is the hallmark of a magician’ as Christopher Penzak writes. Responding to the journals and stories of (extra)ordinary female adventurers, activists, survivors and visionaries from history, the show blends reality with romance and Magical methodologies across 2 and 3D textile forms. The textile works have cryptic narratives and symbology’s that can be enjoyed at surface level but require assistance to decipher the layers of meaning – a nod to the historical use of textiles as both a tool for rebellion (secret stitches) and storytelling aide for communities and subcultures. This show has been created as part of my arts SA fellowship.
