Domino Whisker

UPCOMING EXHIBITION

‘Parenthesis’ at Gormley’s Art Gallery, Dublin, Ireland

March 13 - April 5 2025

Domino Whisker’s ‘Parenthesis’ is a curative act of preserving her own memory through intricate and intimate embroidered works. Whisker once again charts the territory between deep love and loss, amplifying the thoughts that are meant to be quiet.

The show consists of both hand embroidered works and tapestries. Using found linen from Northern Ireland, Whisker stitches her pieces as a way of memorialising her own past while honouring the memory of others that are woven into the fabric itself. A familiar motif soars through this new body of work, birds in murmuration symbolising her subconscious thoughts - fading, fleeting, flying. Non stop and uncontrollable, Whisker grasps hold of these moments to create something concrete for herself, a never ending quest to keep her memories from disappearing into the mists of time.

The colours chosen for ‘Parenthesis’ are considered, each reflecting a different emotion. While some works give an air of calm, others amplify the fugitive effects of memory. ‘Parenthesis’ is a deeply emotional body of work, bracketed between two realities, life and loss.
