Day for Night w/ Finn Godbolt and Mitchell McGrath: 26th June, 2026

Day for Night is a joint exhibition by Finn Godbolt and Mitchell McGrath , currently on at RM Gallery. Finn Godbolt is a Tāmaki-based textile designer whose practice explores knitting and textile technologies through experimentation and industrial machinery. Mitchell McGrath is a Tāmaki-based designer whose expanded practice considers the notions of spatial parameters through embodied experience, exploring fleeting optical phenomena through reactive material and experimentation with imaging techniques. In Day for Night , Godbolt and McGrath present this large scale lenticular knitted textile piece, collaboratively exploring the reciprocal relationship between cinematic and textile technologies through clouds. Here, clouds are a window into the world of cinema, using textiles to examine the language of clouds as images and the way they are perceived in film as a vessel for understanding the shifting relationship between image and viewer. In the work, Godbolt and McGrath play with the fixed and the unfixed, letting clouds, as this constantly morphing subject, shift and rearticulate themselves as the viewer moves within the space – transforming them into having this almost permanent quality, while also sitting in suspense – creating this embodied experience of Day for Night . Sof caught up with Finn and Mitchell about the show and their wider practices.
