The Language of Clay: Still, Solo Exhibition

2017

Still, a solo exhibition in The Language of Clay first series, a Mission Gallery National Touring initiative curated by Ceri Jones and funded by the Arts Council of Wales.

“The natural and the human-made, both the valued and the discarded, are bound into Gibbs' own resourceful world of stitching, threading, piercing and joining, where every act of making, of construction and piecing together, is also an important part of her philosophy. It is just as much about the process. The fragile nature of this process adds to its intimacy… It is a gently regenerative creativity, this bricolage of pieces reevaluated and remade. Gibbs is artist as retriever, but also as provocateur, in her understated way pricking at our consciousness, making us think afresh about the fabric of our interior and exterior worlds”.
