Yvonne Mullock, Why don't you...

Yvonne Mullock’s exhibition 'Why don’t you…' is a solo presentation that brings together multiple projects spanning more than ten years of the artist’s practice. Beginning with printmaking and extending into textiles, video, ceramics, and bronze, Mullock crosses disciplinary boundaries to explore questions of human behaviour. Many of the works engage with clothing as material culture, uncovering the histories, habits, and traces of the body in ways that are often surprising, humorous, and revealing. With a keen interest in bodily propriety, discomfort, and privacy, Mullock invites us into intimate spaces—always with a playful touch.

Mullock’s practice interrogates iconic symbols of dominant culture, such as the Stetson hat, while creating space for underrepresented perspectives to participate in these cultural narratives. Her work frequently incorporates community involvement, embodiment, and elements of performance, adding multidimensionality to a practice that values process as much as outcome. Ultimately, Mullock’s work reinforces that the boundaries between high and low art, fine art and craft, are outdated—and that working within these blurred spaces generates rich and insightful artistic inquiry.
