"Beg to be Loved, Beg to be Touched" is an experience of soft sculpture installations from textile artist Holly McCabe, curated by Jaime Ransome. McCabe works with vintage cloth and contrast topstitching to create viscerally and compassionately manipulated wall-mounted soft sculptures. Each work is meticulously crafted from vintage materials, discarded and donated, then revived in McCabe’s studio. Scraps of cotton, wool, polyester and faux leather have been salvaged by the artist and pieced together into something deserving of love, attention, and care.
