Christy Gast's Bog Skirt honors the bog as material archive. The work recreates a double-scale version of the Bronze Age Egtved Girl's string skirt, whose twist structure dates back to the ceremonial solar-cycle textiles depicted in Paleolithic stone Venus sculptures. Constructed from strips of discarded knitwear destined for landfill and soaked in a walnut tannin bath, the work connects the preservative chemistry of bog sites and the Egtved Girl's oak coffin to the extended afterlife of contemporary fast fashion.

Vernal explores how artists return to the natural world as a site where memory, meaning, and material change converge. Featuring work by eleven artists, the exhibition asks us to reconsider the landscape in this moment of climate disruption, where reverence and reckoning coexist.
