‘Unthinking’ Exhibition by Jessica Norris

Gallery on Track is pleased to present this month’s beautiful exhibition “Unthinking’ by Jessica Norris. Jessica is a hand weaver living in the Southern Highlands of Australia (beautiful Gundungurra Country). She loves using natural fibres and is happiest when sampling new weave structures at her loom. One day she hopes to add a draw loom to her collection. You can find her @jessica__norris on Instagram.

“Weaving is my way to forget: when I’m at my loom, the worries of the world fall away from my shoulders, and I can lose myself in the texture of natural yarns, and a tangle of vibrant colours.
I find the most effective “unthinking” happens when I’m deep diving into complex weave structures, and sampling to discover new possibilities in cloth. When I let go of weaving for a purpose, and simply weave for the experience, I carve out a quiet space in the corner of my mind where the chaos of outside thoughts can’t reach me. It nourishes me.
This collection is the result of my recent “unthinking”: chaotic, colourful, weird”.

The exhibition is open for viewing during August 2026 at Gallery on Track Exhibition Space inside the Gallery Shop hours, Wednesday to Sunday 10am – 4pm. All are welcome.
