If you think that craft is a C word then go to the Naughton Gallery exhibition and have your thoughts dismissed. The Jerwood contemporary makers show is excellent. So good to see such high quality craft in one space. But is it Craft or is it art or , or ,or.
The show really fits the space and is beautifully placed to the bext view of all of the artworks on show. Initially its hard to pick out a piece over the rest as they are all at such a high standard and work so well together. But I suppose its a first time exhibition for me. First time , I've seen a one night stand depicted in glass.
The piece I never really knew her should be viewed by a number of people I see running around the catheral quarter of a weekend. It fairly made my eyes water.
There is a cartoon felt hat that I just wanted to wear, love in Berlin a beautiful small gold heart. Basket as a sculptural piece and really all the makers you can see are at the top of their game. How do they make a living ? who knows the arts council yesterday published a report that most artist earn £7500 a year and have no pension provision..........................so why do they/we all do it??
because there is no other feeling like it the feeling of creating of having free reigh over your creative self of geting into slow time and as the brilliant quote from Mae West says on the back of the craft Ni craft month newsletter. If somethings worth doing its worth doing slowly..............................
Look out for Claire Colcannon and her knitted piano coming soon to cornmarket. Just love those yarn bombers
