About the event
What happens to baling twine once its work in the fields is done? In Darcey Fleming’s hands, it takes on an extraordinary second life.
Collected from farming communities, discarded twine becomes richly textured sculpture: colour spills across surfaces, strands tumble loose and familiar objects take on unexpected forms. Playful and intriguing, her work invites us to reconsider a material we might otherwise walk past.
Winner of the 2026 Brookfield Properties Craft Award, Darcey works across sculpture, photography, film and performance. Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy and Saatchi Gallery, while a worldwide collaboration with Givenchy has brought her sculptural pieces to new audiences.
Join CAC in Darcey’s studio to meet the artist herself, look closely at her work and hear about the ideas and processes behind its making.
