holy arm gauntlet

holy arm gauntlet presents recent work by Kamberri/Boorloo based artist Tom Campbell positioning embroidery as a location for disagreement. The act of disagreeing is a long-held interest, particularly in the ways in which it both forges and fractures connection. In parallel, Tom considers how poetry might act as a way into navigating this dynamic. If poetry resists the idea that words possess one meaning and by nature embraces ambiguity and plurality, what possibilities does this open up for reframing the ways one experiences the bodily sensation of being ‘in disagreement?’
