SECOND HAND – Part 1

GONE TO THE DOGS – K9 CRUSADERS CHARITY SHOP

69 FORE ST, REDRUTH TR15 2AF

Great invite from Liam Jolly at Auction House to take part in a group exhibition with 15 artists which starts at a charity shop – Gone to the Dogs, Redruth on St Piran’s day – 7th March.

I’ll be showing new work – exploring scarves as a form with links to resistance, artist’s practice and as identifiers of community. Historical links to artists in Cornwall through the Ascher commissions, which featured a 1947 design by Barbara Hepworth, the proof for which is held at the Hepworth Wakefield. 🪡

The exhibition tests how the meaning of works shifts in different contexts and is part of a year long collaboration with Auction House, Back Lane West and CMR Project Space to change perceptions of contemporary art, making it more open and relevant for a wider audience. Part 2 will take place at Auction House over the two following weekends.Brilliant opportunity to work with new materials and forms of display in this unique place.🧵🎥🪨
