Hayley Newman : Tongue-tied

2 Nov-24 Nov 2019

Matt’s Gallery
London SW11 7AN

Overview

Tongue-tied is a collection of mute tongues that emit no words but communicate through pigment and shape. Some are flamboyant, seductive and blustering, others compulsively lie and fib. Works presented in Tongue-tied have been selected from an incidental archive of over 500 drawings, watercolours, texts and knitted textiles made by Hayley Newman since June 2018, all of which trace personal responses to a time of uncertainty and turbulence.
