Georgina Maxim’s stitched works made repair deliberately provisional

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Margot Dower’s ArtThrob review of Georgina Maxim’s Telling Moments at Goodman Gallery, London, focused on six works assembled from clothing and embroidery. The Zimbabwe-based artist’s use of dhunge mutunge, a temporary stitching technique, became a way to consider memory, women’s lives and the limits of repair. Dower resisted flattening the work into a general textile-art trend, stressing the specificity of its methods and context.
