Through stitching, text, mark-making, and video, Sally Boon Matthews traces how the body speaks through material and time—how language, in its tactile and durational forms, becomes a means of touching the world and being touched in return.

Her practice unfolds as a slow choreography of gestures—unravelling, mending, layering—where traditional techniques meet ephemeral materials to explore the porous boundaries between memory, matter, and meaning. Acts of making become acts of listening: to history, to silence, to what resists articulation. She treats historical residue not as fixed record but as a site of vulnerability and re-imagination, where material and temporal forms of language hold space for reflection, care, and the complexity of being.
