Danielle Clough Solo Exhibition at Paradigm Gallery

Paradigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present "Crewel Intentions", a solo show of tapestries and embroidered works by South African artist, Danielle Clough. "Crewel Intentions" will feature Clough’s signature embroidered portraits referenced from vintage Playboy magazine photographs and extensions of her ongoing Girl Dust series. Clough indulges in saturated color and texture to bring life to developed portraits of beautiful beings lost in thought or holding a gaze. Their likeness expands with colored thread tactfully sewn in the background, a moment in time distorted by fiber movement.

"Crewel Intentions" will be on view on the second floor of the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N 3rd Street) from August 1 through August 31, 2025 with a public opening reception on Friday, August 1 from 6:00-8:00pm.
