Stitches & Stories
Photos on Fabric
18 - 25 April | 12pm - 3pm | Doddlife Photography Studios
Exhibition Opening and Talk April 22nd 6pm - 9pm
‘Stitches and Stories – photos on fabric’ is a collaborative exhibition by Port Lincoln locals Matthew Dodd of Doddlife Photography and Sue Catt of Sue Catt Creative, exploring the transformation of local South Australian landscapes into wearable and functional art. Matthew’s photographs, captured across the Eyre Peninsula and the Flinders Ranges, are digitally printed onto fabric and reimagined by Sue as garments and homewares including shirts, dresses, tea towels, and bags. Together, the works blur the line between image and object, art and everyday life.
Grounded in principles of slow fashion and mindful making, the exhibition values quality, longevity, and thoughtful use of materials. Each piece is carefully crafted to honour both the original photograph and the landscape it represents, offering an alternative to fast, disposable design. Through stitching, folding, and wear, theimages evolve, becoming part of a lived, tactile relationship with place. At its heart, Stitches and Stories is a celebration of collaboration, sustainability, and local connection. An exhibition of photography and textiles, it invites viewers to engage with South Australian landscapes in a new way—not only to observe them, but to wear them, use them, and carry their stories forward as part of daily life.
