Here & Now

We have completed the writing and editing of the catalogue and it is looking fantastic. The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday October 1st and many of the exhibiting artists will be on hand to discuss their work. Also Caron Penney will be giving a workshop during the day and be 'in discussion' with Bryony Wilson, Head of Exhibitions at NCCD and me over lunchtime.

Erotic Cloth Book

Almost all the chapters have been received and Alice Kettle and I are slowly reading through, and writing our Introduction. Such interesting thinking around the subject - it is going to be an amazing book (due out late 2017).

Contextile 2016

Delighted to have been asked to present a paper at the Contextile 2016 Conference 'What Place Is This' 23rd and 24th September in Guimaraes, Portugal. And most excited that the other Keynote is Janet Echelman whose work (and TED talk) I find incredibly inspiring. For information:
