Our
exhibition at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace is now up and
running. Its title is ‘Lace at the edge’ and it features work by me and Gail
Baxter. Although we are both lacemakers our work is quite different but it is
linked by a common theme of netting. In Gail’s case fishing nets and
traditional netting techniques and in mine the fine nets used in veiling. It is
great to see all the pieces displayed as a body of work, hanging them in the
studio just doesn’t give you the same effect. I was especially pleased to see
that my three black veils worked well together pinned to the wall like bats in
flight. Also the group of white veils linked to literary themes show up well on
the circular plinths they are displayed on. It’s always good to see the work in
situ, as however many plans you make it’s not until everything is hung that you
can see the overall effect. The exhibition is on until Sunday 9 October and the
gallery number is TG21 so do come and visit us. However if you can’t make it we
are exhibiting the work again in Harrogate at the end of November.
