At a Tangent – Textiles by The 62 Group – Gallery Oldham

I am privileged to be a member of the 62 Group of textile artists which includes many textile artists with established international reputations. The members’ individual work explores diverse current social, domestic and personal issues.

The next 62 Group exhibition ‘At a Tangent’ runs from 22 January 2011 to 10 April 2011 at Gallery Oldham .
This exhibition demonstrates the group’s energy and vitality, and their continuing determination to produce innovative, exciting work.

Sue Stone’s ‘From Grimsby to Gracia’ – a Weekend in Barcelona , detail shown left, was inspired by a recent visit to Barcelona, this self portrait references a cardboard cutout of Dali seen outside the Dali Museum , the Gaudi mosaics and tiles in Parc Guell , a colourful tiled floor from a neighbourhood bar and a fish from the artist’s hometown of Grimsby.
