Spurn Cloth 2 (extended)


Textures of Spurn opened last Friday at The Bowery, Leeds.  This exhibition sees Spurn Cloth #2 hung in a new way.  Rather than hanging the 10 metre long cloth vertically as before, it has been hung horizontally round the gallery to form a band of texture or a horizon that surrounds the viewer.  The installation has then been completed by continuing that band of texture and marks round the room to form a circle, only interrupted by doorway and window.


The new section has been made from rusted paper and print using the same beach-combed items from Spurn as were used on the fabric.  I've collaged the layers of paper straight onto the gallery wall - something that was scary but satisfying to do!  


More detail can be found here.  The exhibition is on until 5th July.

  1. Wow, it must have been so satisfying to add your work directly to the wall and it looks great.

  2. Yes Lis, it was... once I'd got over the scariness of it and found that what I'd envisaged was actually working!
