The Church’s monthly Insight Sunday series continued with multi-disciplinary artist Bastienne Schmidt.

Schmidt spoke on her work, Measuring Time, Grid Calendar (2020), featured in our summer exhibition Threading the Needle, which explores how the conceptual approaches of contemporary art intersect with the expertise and skill of craft techniques. In her piece, Schmidt uses the grid as a minimalist meditation on space, perception, and systems. Using materials of muslin fabric, string, and thin transparent paper, this piece was created during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. In relation to the title, the work records the passage of time in a period of uncertainty and disquiet.
