About the exhibition

The Sundown Fable was a solo exhibition at Galleri Sintra in Gothenburg, from 7 to 25 October 2023. Large-scale drapes in printed satin filled the room alongside textile sculptures and smaller textile works.

Eyes, coral gardens and beings in pink, orange, purple and turquoise spread across the drapes. The works extended across plinths and floors, creating a space to move through, like a story caught in the moment between day and night.
