Back and Forth was a 2 person exhibition featuring the work of Marianne Fairbanks (USA) and Sofia Hagström Møller (DK),  who live an ocean apart and have developed a creative exchange of ideas that push both to unfold and invent new approaches to their practice and textile based works. They will show works, created over several years, made remotely and together, that show a visual dialogue between their culturally informed approaches to weaving and making, highlighting a playfulness in material use, color and sculptural experiments. 

In the summer of 2024, during a 2 week residency at @thejellyreading they started using cardboard and other discarded materials in their studies and experiments to push weaving into more dimensional forms.
