Celia Pym is a textile artist who carefully darns other people’s clothing, interrogating our feelings towards care and repair. On this final mending day, Celia will return the newly-repaired garments to their owners. Visitors will have the opportunity to see their holes mapped onto a new tracksuit, providing a record of all the holes seen over the course of the mending days.
