On Tuesday 28 April, we returned to (Extra)ordinary, Darcey Fleming’s first solo exhibition at 99 Bishopsgate, during an evening of tours and artist talks.

Spilling across the reception space, Fleming’s sculptural weavings immediately shift the atmosphere - dense, tactile surfaces cascading from the walls, suspended somewhere between control and release. There is an intensity to the work that feels both physical and instinctive, built through repetition, endurance, and an ongoing dialogue with material.

Working exclusively with discarded baling twine, Fleming transforms a highly functional, overlooked material into something entirely other. Each piece is formed through a self-developed weaving process, built from smaller fragments that are gradually tied together into larger structures - a method that reflects both constraint and expansion.

As she describes it, the material itself plays a decisive role in shaping the outcome - from colour and texture to scale, everything is dictated by what is available, introducing what she calls a “built-in limitation” to the work.

There is no sense of finality here. Fleming’s works are continuously evolving - expanded, reworked, and reimagined over time. They exist less as fixed objects, and more as living forms, shaped by movement, context, and interaction.

(Extra)ordinary is now open to the public at 99 Bishopsgate until 1st June.
