Exspiravit – Decorum

Decorum is a group five women artists who work in close collaboration – they formed the group in 2017 and continue to work in relation to textile ephemera. Their practice takes on many forms as they aim to convey traces of past lives through the observation of the present.
Each artist studied at Manchester School of Art in the Textile Department and since graduating they have all continued to make work relating to stitch, print and mixed media painting. Although as individuals their textile practice has taken them in different directions, their passion for historical textiles has remained a constant facet of their work; using techniques that are rooted in textile history has been a common thread that binds them together in their making processes.
