Cut Twist Bind is an exhibition consisting of painting and sculptural works from 2023-2024 by Anna Lyle.

Metaphorical imagery of fabric interacting with unattached anatomy, namely teeth, fingers, and eyes, describe the process of deconstruction and rebuilding of thought and worldview. This tends to be a sensitive yet important topic in the Deep South. Many are raised in a society where free-thinking outside of organized religion, particularly Southern Christianity, is discouraged, sometimes even though of as dangerous.

The process of these mental gymnastics is confusing and along the way reality is warped and twisted as one starts anew, eroding a foundation to make way for a new one. This exhibition invites viewers to visualize this idea tangibly through fabric and our physical bodies, blurring the line determining which is which.
