The bed is a _ full of folds 


Solo exhibition by Ted Tinkler 
Viewfield Lane Gardens, Glasgow 
8th June 2024 



‘The bed is a _ landscape, full of folds’ explores the connection between Shetland Islands, landscape and translation; from intimate texts to knitted lace patterns.

The bed is a warm landscape, full of folds and undulating forms. It is warm, a responsive warm. It beckons you to stay enraptured. We let pockets of other air seep in, occasionally, and let out noises or movements in response. It is full of our warmth and our movement.  


Ted is an artist based in Glasgow. Their work with textile explores relationships between language, coding and knitting patterns. The knitted lace pieces they showed in the exhibition are based on personal texts and knitted with wool from Shetland Islands.
