This is my piece for the 'ship of fools, ship of hope' exhibition at Yarra Sculpture galley in Australia. Artists were sent a simple plastic boat in kit form and asked to respond to the theme (see previous post for details of the exhibition). Mine is a military camoflage textile boat, the sail is stitched from sections of military safety slide film found on a skip.
I'm back from New York - it was a great experience and i took pictures of the Pricked: Extreme Embroidery exhibition. Can't post images here at the moment though as my own computer is in storage till I move house. Meanwhile though, I was interviewed by myartspace - the interview is at this address:http://www.myartspace.com/blog/2007/11/art-space-talk-morwenna-catt.html
We spent a day at Primrose High School in Leeds working on a campaign of the students choice. The day was organised by Thackeray Museum. Our group were fantastic and chose to make a piece about bullying. They worked really hard and produced a huge wall piece / installation with some large scale aticulated 'puppets'. We're converting their work into poster sections and hopefully these will be displayed in the museum soon.
I'm working on a project with Huddersfield Arts and Libraries to produce a piece of artwork for the interior of Holmfirth Library based on Fenella the Tiger. Fenella moved to Holmfirth when the Second World war broke out. She was brought to England by a circus family and lived in their house like an oversized house cat, she was best mates with a carthorse and liked a walk round Holmfirth being patted by the local kids and a nice bag of chips from the local chippy. So far I've I've worked with the reception and year 1 classes at Holmfirth Primary School to produce their own mosaic called 'tiger tales' to put on the wall in their school. The children became tigers for an afternoon and photos of their tigery faces will be used behind glass as a border in the larger piece I'm making for the library. Theres a rough sketch of the piece I'm producing above, it combines mosaic, photographs and painting. At the top theres a photo of Fenella lounging on her favourite sofa.
