Jacq, better known as Wayn Traub, has spent more than two decades building worlds that sit somewhere between devotion and delusion. This latest exhibition is a quiet summing up of 26 years across art, film, music and theatre. At its centre sits a group of hand-embroidered copes, slow works made with the patience of someone who clearly doesn’t rush endings. Since moving to Thailand in 2012, Traub has produced 25 of these monumental garments, each taking months to stitch. Twelve appear here, joined by shields and devotional objects, all worked on handwoven textiles from Sakon Nakhon. The imagery follows Minsterwood, his self-written dark fable set in a jungle monastery where nuns stitch vestments from violent histories. These pieces will later be worn on screen, making this a rare first encounter. A brooding soundtrack, also his, quietly seals the mood.
Until March 8. Free. RCB Galleria 5, River City Bangkok, 10am-8pm
