Maker’s Eye: Stories of Craft

2021 – Craft Council, London

Maker’s Eye: Stories of Craft was the first exhibition in the new Crafts Council Gallery. It celebrated the breadth, diversity and qualities of craft, and includes numerous craft objects made in the UK over the course of the last 50 years. In Summer 2020, I was invited to consider what was missing. My selection of works by contemporary makers plays tribute to the founding ethos of the collection – to document innovative practice by emerging makers. My hope was that the additions might animate conversations about the value of collections, what history is documented, what stories are told, who they are for, and who decides what is in them.

Social Fabric

Social Fabric focuses on the textile industry and its relation to capital, labour, colonialism, international trade and radical politics. The exhibition examines the social and economic role of textiles, particularly in India. Its starting point are works by artists Alice Creischer about the circulation of global commodities and by Sudhir Patwardhan who records the impact of the textile industry on Mumbai. Showing alongside are new artists’ commissions, films, books, fabrics, prints and audio recordings.
