Explore The Weight Of Absence - a new textile exhibition by Andi Walker.

Join Andi Walker for a new solo exhibition in the Project Space at Patrick Studios. The Weight Of Absence explores the relationship between memory and body, through sculptural textile works and stitch processes.

The Weight Of Absence will be open at Patrick Studios, LS9 7EH:

3 October  – private view 6 – 9pm

4 & 5 October – 0pen 11 am – 4 pm

6 – 10 October – open by appointment. Please get in touch with artist Andi Walker to arrange.

Material and cloth are at the heart of Andi Walker’s practice. Rooted in quilt-making and garment forms, this solo show explores the memory of the body – a presence felt through its absence.

Each piece is layered, stitched, or worn, becoming a vessel for incomplete, unspoken or erased stories. The work weaves together personal narrative with historical struggles, particularly those surrounding LGBTQ+ identities, reflecting on how material can hold memory, embody absence, and speak to what remains unseen.
