MAPPING THE UNSEEN presents a body of work by Artist Ragna Froda that bridges drawing and textile. Ragna repurposes layered fabrics as the ground for intricate digital embroideries, derived from her original ink drawings. Thread and line mirror one another, shifting between abstraction and narrative imagery. The exhibition highlights the dialogue between mark and stitch, and the unseen stories that emerge in translation from drawing to textile, revealing unseen connections and hidden landscapes within the material itself.
