You are invited to join us for the next Associate Artist discussion session which will take place with Holly Searle (aka The Subversive Stitcher) who will be travelling to Bath for this occasion. Tea and cake provided!
After winning first prize at the International Women’s Day Exhibition Dame of the Hour, The Subversive Stitcher is currently on show in the Stairwell Gallery at 44AD. Holly has put together a collection of embroidered popular culture artworks to provoke the public into engaging with the feminist narrative. Using bank notes, popular culture and literature reference she challenges the notion that the perceived femininity in stitching is found in only in happy motifs. The challenge is to look again.
Stairwell Exhibition: 19 June - 29 July 2018
Open 12pm - 6pm (Sun 1pm - 4pm) Closed Mon

An Exhibition by Textile & Mixed Media Artist Beverley Ferguson
Open Evening : Thurs 05 July 6pm - 8pm
“Using paper medical notes in my work and as starting points I create a visual narrative for my experiences in the mental health system. I respond to and explore through a variety of textures: paper, textiles, sound and mixed media the notion of ‘sections.’ How it feels to be separated and cut off from the outside world by illness informs much of my work. It is also a celebration of life as renewal and vitality return. These changing patterns are expressed by my use of design, form, colour and rhythm. This process enables me to begin to build bridges creating a map for my inner world.”
In Conversation : Fri 06 July 12.30pm – 1.30pm
