Still Lives
ACEarts, Market Place, Somerton, Somerset TA11 7NB
Still Lives presents embroidered works by artists who transform everyday domestic moments into quiet reflections. Through thread, scenes of home and habit are paused and made extraordinary — a gesture, a glance, a shared moment. The exhibition features intricately hand-stitched works created by women artisans in Karachi, Pakistan, on loan from Alice Kettle, and invites us to slow down, notice the beauty in the ordinary, and find connection in the rhythms of daily life.
