Wadding is traditionally used as a padding beneath textiles, representing a form of quiet, almost invisible existence. A narrative of weight and lightness, and of listening for the subtle resonance that moves in and out of spaces and parallel realities.

There is a profound need for a gentler gaze upon the world, one another and ourselves, as we seek new paths in a world where balances are being unsettled and much is changing – on an individual, interpersonal and global level.
