K&S at Alley Pally
Posted: Tuesday, 06 November 2007 |
Knitting and Stitching at Alexandra Place, I have never been to a K&S before and managed to slip one into a visit to the family in the deep south, hence my lack of posts for the last month or so,
I enjoyed K&S and met lots of people I have previously only known via the internet, saw lots of lovely Textile Art too and didn’t spend toooo much money on goodies,
Sorry to those who like to see photos of work but most of the exhibitions had ‘no photos’ signs up, the group didn’t though and I was very interested in some of the work so here are a few photos of my fav’s,
Jacky Russell
I love these small works, Jacky is inspired by the faded paint work, peeling plaster and crumbling brickwork of Venice, I love, love the inclusion of the barred window, Jacky says she is fascinated by the life behind the barred windows and grilled doorways,
Dawn Thorne
I love blues so they always capture my attention but I also was/am very interested in the way Dawn has constructed her work, it is made up of layers, lacy see through with some solid elements, floating between 2 pieces of glass/perspex/??? This is a very long narrow piece and I really like it,
Liz Heywood
Liz’s work fascinated me, the build of layers I wanted to poke my finger in and explore, Liz is interested in hedgerows and the life, death and regeneration in them,
For more info and to see the other Artists in the group take a look at their website you will see one of my favourite Artists is a member Sandra Meech I have posted ,
Finally I have managed a post since I got back, I am trying to catch up on IB blogging, textile blogs and the e mails on lists plus the ordinary everyday things in life,

Good to have you back, IT, and hope your trip to the exhibition was not too ruinously expensive. I like the last two pics best, it must have been lovely to see these in reality. I will have a look at the website shortly.

Thanks Jill, no under the circumstances I think I was very restrained ;o) it was good to see the work and talk to some of the artists,
