Nirmal Raja’s solo exhibition showcases a variety of approaches that consistently blend the intimate and personal with a consciously global existence. Building on thread as a metaphor that connects random pieces of fabric and is also the very stuff that fabric is made from, this exhibit pulls together works from Raja’s diverse production to understand how fabric and its structure can convey powerful emotional and intellectual matters. Including work from early in her career to her most recent endeavors, this is the first exhibit to dive into Raja’s captivating studio process and her history of making multifaceted objects and installations.

Nirmal Raja: Asking Questions of a Thread is guest curated by Ann Sinfield for the James Watrous Gallery.
