The next time
Gail and I will exhibit the work from ‘Lace at the edge’ is at Harrogate, still
as part of the Knitting and Stitching Show. Our stand at Alexandra Palace was
rectangular but the one at Harrogate is much more square so we are having to
rethink our display. When we started planning the exhibition, the aim was to
intermingle our work, but when we actually came to set up that just didn’t seem
to work effectively, so we ended up with my work at one end and Gail’s at the
other. I think now we’ve seen the work on display we have a much better idea of
which pieces work well together which we’re bearing in mind as we redesign the
stand for its new shape. Other factors we will have to consider are the placing
of the stand. At Alexandra Palace we were quite well inside the gallery block,
but at Harrogate we are right near the opening so we’ll have to consider air
draughts blowing the work and of course the temperature if it’s cold. We had a
few draughts in London when the ceiling vents were opened and they wafted my
black veils about in a suitably languid and sinister manner, so let’s hope we
achieve that effect!
