Jumpers in the Cavendish Gallery.




Hello again,

It has been so busy couple of weeks, and months actually, that I have not been able to update the blog. I have also being producing more work, and only today got around to start taking photos of it. Im going to do a few updates with what is going on, just today, I hope everybody enjoys to see the images as much as I have been enjoying making them.

First in this post, I am going to talk a little bit about how the jumper project is getting on. It is definitely growing and it is getting really heavy. I needed some help to carry it from my studio to the exhibition building, which luckily was only cross the road. I am really happy how many people have been donating their jumpers for me. It has been a big help and I am also touched by the fact that so many people seem to care about my work.

In this bit would be nice to thank the people who have been donating their jumpers for me so far:

Georgie Dixon
Abigail Webster
Jennifer Lawler
Faye Scott-Harrington
Hazel Jones
Pets in Need for Vets (charity)
Tony Holiday

Today I have been putting the jumpers up in the Cavendish Gallery, where it is available to view from Monday. I put the jumpers inside walls so that a person can actually walk in it. It is a soft, warm (a bit smelly) atmosphere as some of the jumpers are a bit old, but it is really cosy. As I was putting the jumpers up today at the gallery, I felt like I wanted to have a nap in there, wrapped in a massive jumper collage. As the project has been involving the audience from the start, I want it to be exhibited as that the audience can experience it and climb in it and feel it. This is the second time now that the jumpers are exhibited, and I am excited to hear the feedback. I am still collecting more jumpers and see how big it is going to be in a few months time!

I hope as many people who can, go and see the actual piece in the Cavendish Gallery, but for those who are not going, can enjoy the pictures.
