- Details
This exhibition catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition 'Alice Kettle: allegory' held at the Crafts Study Centre, Farnham, 24 November 2009 until 13 March 2010, and touring to other UK museums and art centres until Spring 2011. The catalogue includes an essay by Professor Simon Olding.
Alice Kettle's exhibition for the Crafts Study Centre reflects an interest in the way that narrative can be expressed through the medium of machine-worked embroidery, both in large wall hangings and in a series of private and symbolic three-dimensional works, using a restrained monochrome palette as well as more vibrant colours.
Her recent interest in working in partnership with other artists is also revealed in the exhibition, with the presentation of collaborative pieces with the potter Stephen Dixon, her colleague at Manchester Metropolitan University.
The exhibition takes as its starting point the painting by Poussin 'A Dance to the Music of Time' in The Wallace Collection, London.
