awards night

Date change to SATURDAY 9TH JUNE for the Woolgather Awards night and closing party.

talk

Enjoyed presenting my talk at the Woolgather show and the questions/comments that arose regarding making work in cemeteries, sharing my practice with my family and the sensitivities around this. Met the whole Woolgather team at last - John, Annie and Chris, and listened to Edwin Li and Dominic Heffer talk eloquently about their work.

Awards night next friday...

local paper

Dropped off some Woolgather flyers to the Hepworth staffroom today, and found this pinned on the noticeboard with vote for Karen scrawled next to it in green pen (my favourite colour). Thank you to whoever did that. This must have been in the Wakefield Express, but not sure when... Apologies for scan quality (and blob of jam), did try to find a link to the article online but no luck.

tea and ginger nuts

My work is safely delivered to Leeds for the Woolgather Art Prize 2012. Met the lovely Annie who brought us tea and ginger nuts and gave us a tour of the spaces that will be filled with art. Show opens friday 11th May at 1 Cross York Street. I’m intrigued by how the 25 artists work will be curated and can’t wait to see the show, very pleased to be a part of this.
