Taking as its starting point Linda Marrinon’s playfully draped and posed sculpture Woman in Highwaisted Pants, 2007, Folded drew upon works from the Monash University Collection, with additional loans, that delve into the realms of gesture, drape and fold. Moving between the figurative and non-figurative, the solid and the fragile, the exhibition featured both historical and contemporary works.
