Post BM meeting with Blank Pages Ed John Leyland at his swish NQ flat, I spotted this in Nexus Art Cafe’s window space, I had to snap it from my phone.
I recognised the work as that of Annie Harrison www.annieharrison.co.uk, who graduated this year from the Embroidery MA at Manchester School of Art, her recent work has been developed from her involvment with Withington Hospital working with sheets to create site specific installations, Harrison is an artist working outside the common perception of craft.
The Embroidery MA has been challenging the very notion of stitch and it really is a MUST see show during degree show season. I will definatly be bobbing my head into Nexus this week to check out the rest of the show and on the strength of Harrison’s window Installation, I think you should too.
