From @mothermother_archive:
“Excitingly, to honour artists; the world’s artists build, and live in, we’re delighted that Jessica Pearless has crafted a collection of bespoke ‘Wearable ABSTRAXIONS’ - a series of tunic-style garments to adorn this years group of mothermother artists exhibiting at the Aotearoa Art Fair. The artists, along with Pearless, will each wear one of her exquisite tunics at the Opening Night Thursday 1st May 2025, 5-9pm, invoking the spirit of a divine happening.
