Sara Baume & Mollie Douthit: Holding space
Holding Space presents a fascinating collaboration between Mollie Douthit and Sara Baume. The exhibition will include paintings, sculpture and needlework, all reflecting the artists’ common process of building pieces gradually, almost ritualistically. Both also share a certain curiosity in spirituality and mysticism, which is referenced by the gap at the centre of the handkerchiefs Baume will be showing, the literal space that each piece holds, which has also become a kind of signifier of their friendship. Douthit, her paintings and their friendship are also the subject of Baume's forthcoming book, Opening Night, which will be published by Granta in the summer of 2026.
