Paperwork, the Hub in association with QEST, 20th July - 17th November 2024
I am delighted to be working on a new large-scale sculpture in partnership with Oliver Smart to be presented at Paperwork this Summer. Oliver and I recently collaborated on a kinetic paper sculpture for a private commission and we are excited to develop this new piece, bringing it to life in a public gallery.
Paperwork will bring together works from a selected group of 14 craftspeople who use paper as a primary medium or as an intrinsic part of their process, all of whom have developed their practice through specialist craft training and education supported by the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST).
Through the skills of the makers, the exhibition will showcase the versatility of paper as a material, and explore the breadth of its creative and practical potential. The show will consider our continuing relationship with this tactile medium in the age of digital technology, and its enduring usefulness.
With the support of QEST, the practitioners in this exhibition have pushed technical boundaries, working with two and three dimensions, alongside preserving traditional skills, and developing their own aesthetic language.
Paperwork will preview on Friday 19th July from 6-8pm with an artist/curator talk on Saturday 20th July at 11am. Please come along to see the show if you can make it.
