Time Machine references the cultural and familial timelines breeched by Jordan Gogos' work. It also resonates within a humorous Austin Powers world, filled with campy playacting, dressing up and double entendre. This playfulness, which speaks to his personality, is something often judged to be at odds with the seriousness of art making.

Consisting of a series of new textile works, Jordan positions his sewing machine as a time machine that brings together personal and donated fabrics from different periods and relationships from his life.

These tapestries that weave together moments of the intimate and unknown, explores the way fabric holds the forms of our individual pasts and identity long after their wear. Chaotic, the clash of different textures and colours are tamed by the connecting threads and stitches from the artist.

Like cogs in a machine they interlock and work to transport us to a past that we gleam upon; a past not entirely our own, but a past not entirely foreign.
