An inspiring day at Thames Valley Textile Group last weekend, with talk from
Sara Impey ( who's work I've long admired). Very entertaining with wonderful sense of fun and ridiculous while addressing serious issues. Phrases that resonated I scribbled down : a liking for "density of text on the printed page"; "integrity of wholecloth" and tips such as not leaving big gaps between words as get repetitive patterns forming. I haven't done much with text apart from
peeling poster JQ's but I fished out this piece of paper lamination - and then put it back in the box as there are too many other projects on the go at the moment!
In the afternoon, the grand reveal for
'Halfway Between' . In a moment of weakness I'd offered to help with curation and design of exhibition at Knit and Stitch at Olympia next spring. With such varied work both 2d and 3d , it's going to be a challenge to make a cohesive display in a small space.
