R&F Mo, Maybe, Possibly, Perhaps, You Never Know, 2024
Fabric fragments and sewn thread, 48 x 48cm
R&F Mo’s multi-faceted practice explores connections between the seen, the sensed and the dreamed. Playful and otherworldly, her paintings, works on paper, and theatrical enactments often feature ‘the Woanderer’, a unique, horse-headed creature that navigates imaginary landscapes whilst exploring the notion of identity.
Performance is a constant thread that weaves through Mo’s practice whether the work is studio-based or presented through a character acting in costume. Fantastical figures and beasts inhabit the artist’s vibrant worlds, telling unfinished stories that– in Mo’s words - ‘reference alternative beings and multiple dimensions, allowing the unconscious to come into play’.
This unique unframed fabric work is part of our ‘Almost Blue’ online collection and exhibition. It utilises an array of fabrics layered and sewn together with embroidery thread including tartan, organza and velvet. Featuring three (or is it four?) of the artist’s characteristic faces, this work is tactile and complex.
Mo studied at City and Guilds, London, graduating in 1980, followed by the Royal College of Art, London, graduating in 1984. An MFA and PhD followed at Central St. Martin’s, London (2004) and University of the Arts, London (2011) respectively. Mo co-authored Performance Drawing (Bloomsbury 2020) and took part in the Performance Drawing 2021 residency at The Centre for Recent Drawing, London. Works have recently been exhibited in A History of Drawing, Camberwell Space (2018), the TBW Drawing prize 2020, and the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition. Oliver Project has been proud to launch several new limited edition prints by the artist at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair since 2021. Mo lives and works in south east London.
