Threads of Thought: WSA PhD Exhibition 2025

Join us this month for a new exhibition of PhD work! The Winchester School of Art PhD research group are very pleased to present ‘Threads of Thought’. These works use practice or creative methods as a model of exploration, whether in fine art, design, or related fields. The selected works highlight the production process as a form of thinking, questioning, and unfolding.

Private View:

6 June (Friday 16:30 – 18:00)

Public Opening:

6 – 26 June
Mon-Sat 10am – 5:30pm
Sun – Closed

Location:  

Gallery 37 / Community Hub | Unit 37 The Brooks, Winchester, SO23 8QY

Thought is not a fixed point but a thread—unfolding, tangling, looping through forms, materials, and methods. When research takes shape through practice, knowledge is not simply demonstrated but made, tested, and reconfigured.

‘Threads of Thought’ invites a critical engagement with how knowledge is produced, questioned, and transformed through creative practice. Through iterative methodologies, material enquiry, and interdisciplinary engagement, the exhibition explores the embodied thinking and experimental processes that shape doctoral research beyond traditional academic forms.

Through language, visual impact, spatial extension, and human interaction, the works presented here demonstrate how practice emerges as a mode of enquiry—threading together ideas, materials, and methods across disciplines.
