ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE - A Generous Space 3

I’m thrilled to have had another woven piece selected for the third ASP international group exhibition called ‘A Generous Space 3’ at Huddersfield Art Gallery.

Handwoven in spun silk and heavy linen, this reverse brocade features pieced together fragments of my woven fabrics, the edges of which have been sealed using beeswax tinted with charcoal from my home fire. I inserted home grown and harvested triangular sedge stems into the floats. My sedge grows along the stream the runs into the sea.

Artist Support Pledge is a not for profit company founded by artist Matthew Burrows during the early months of the pandemic, which has now become a worldwide movement. https://artistsupportpledge.com

Opening on 15th July, it will run until 9th September. I’m proud to be showing woven artwork in area near to where I was born, which is so heavily connected with weaving.
