Taste Contemporary is proud to present Thoughtforms – Questions We Ask of Ourselves, a solo exhibition of work by Michael Brennand-Wood.

An explorer of visual territories, Michael Brennand-Wood has always been drawn to the border areas, the margins between disciplines, the points at which ideas overlap, blurring distinctions as to whether it’s a textile, object, painting, applied or fine art statement. ‘Definitions of an area’s ideology are often a form of protectionism and control,’ says Brennand-Wood. ‘I belong firmly to the what if school of thought.’

In this exhibition, early works sit alongside recent works. While constantly evolving and reflective of the questions he has asked himself at different times, there is a line of enquiry that runs through this collection of work; a narrative constructed in thread. For Brennand-Wood, threads are symbolic of both connection and repair, a comparatively fragile material that is surprisingly strong, a unifier of the fragmented.
