Dear friends,

I am so thrilled to announce my upcoming solo exhibition, The Unbearable Lightness, opening 19th November at Item Gallery in Paris.

Over the last ten years, my embroidery practice has evolved from a quiet visual journal into an embodied exploration of time, memory, and movement. Using a single green thread on raw canvas, each piece is brought to life through the accumulation of hours of repeated gestures—a deliberate meditation on slowness in a world that accelerates by the day.

The show features a combination of my embroideries that everyone has grown to know and love, plus larger scale explorations of the same methodology. Alongside the embroideries, I am showcasing a new lithograph print and copper etchings published by Idem Paris.

Warmly,

Sheena Liam
