Just been to see Michael Raedecker at the Hauser & Waith gallery. His new work is a mixture of paint and embroidery with delicate silvery threads and carefully muted tones. The best pieces were the torn and then restitched canvases of suburban bungalows and if you looked carefully you could spot punctured holes from discarded threads and messily haphazard stitching. This all served to unsettle the calm stillness and create a sense of disjointed other-worldliness, of fragments from dreams or stills from films long forgotten. Quite lovely...
