About
Why this artist matters now
Billie Zangewa hand-sews silk fabrics into collage tapestries, building intimate figurative scenes from layered, stitched textile fragments. Based in Johannesburg, her practice treats the domestic and the personal as primary subject matter, rendered through the slow, deliberate labour of hand-sewing rather than conventional painting or printmaking. Her work has been featured at the Paris Art Fair at the Grand Palais.
