Soft Spot highlights three artists working with fibre-based materials in a range of forms, including rug making, embroidery and soft sculpture. These tactile artworks evoke domestic spaces in their form and subjects, looking to functional objects and household chores as both personal and political subjects. Together, Claudia Kogachi, Ming Ranginui (Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi), and Erica van Zon probe relationships, class structures and cultural heritage within the context of the objects and rituals which make up a home.
