An Ever Changing View is a woven sculptural installation that explores the instability and fragmentation of memory. The work is rooted in a longing to materialise a connection to place, making the intangible, tangible. Through an auto-ethnographic approach, it draws on inherited narratives, folklore and a connection to plants, reflecting a layered identity shaped between England and Bulgaria. Blurred, shifting imagery operates as both aesthetic and symbolic means, using processes such as screen-printing and painting directly onto the warp before weaving. The resulting softened edges emerge from the tension between control and movement within the loom, mirroring the fluid nature of recollection.
Influenced by traditional Bulgarian Kilim weaving, the work reinterprets craft as an active, evolving process that holds memory, identity, and material in dynamic tension. Rather than presenting memory as fixed, the work embraces inconsistency. By assembling fragments into a tactile form, weaving becomes both method and metaphor; a way to hold continuity and change simultaneously, while reimagining tradition as something responsive and ever changing.
Nadine Wilde (b.1996) is a handweaver whose practice explores memory, connection to place, and storytelling. Rooted in a sense of duality, her work draws on her experience of growing up between England and Bulgaria. Navigating this in-between space, she uses weaving as a language through which to examine identity, belonging, and the layered nature of personal and cultural narratives.
