Careworn

The Constance Howard Gallery is pleased to announce our latest exhibition, Careworn, by Goldsmiths alumna Sophie-Nicole Dodds.

A collection of prints, drawings, and handmade garments by Dodds will be exhibited alongside historical objects from the Goldsmiths Textile Collection. Presented in an archive-based format, the exhibition aims to facilitate a dialogue between objects and processes within the domestic space, emphasising both the act of wearing and care within the making process.

Dodds trained in Bespoke Tailoring at the London College of Fashion before completing the MA Design: Expanded Practice (Fashions and Embodiment) course at Goldsmiths in 2020.

Having worked extensively with the Goldsmiths Textile Collection during her MA, Dodds further developed her interest in and work with collections and archives through an ‘Illuminating Objects’ internship at The Courtauld Gallery, run in conjunction with the Science Museum.

In 2022 Dodds completed the postgraduate Year of Drawing scholarship at the Royal Drawing School and has since been returning to Goldsmiths to run drawing workshops with MA Design students and to continue her research with the Goldsmiths Textile Collection.
