UK Frederick’s HARD YAKKA is an exploration of the humble yet iconic flannel shirt, a staple item in workwear apparel as well as sub-culture and counter-culture scenes. From artists to tradies, “westies” to farmers, fashionistas to grunge rockers, the flannel shirt crosses different cultural associations and bridges the space-time of work and leisure.
In this exhibition, Frederick draws on past photographic practices and theory, ceramics and patterns to investigate how the sensory qualities of disembodied clothing and personal items are employed to invoke loss and induce sensorial memory.
