V&A

At the V&A I saw the works of various female artists like Phoebe Cummings, Celia Pym and Laura Ellen Bacon in the Woman Hour Craft Prize exhibition. Celia Pym uses darning, knitting and embroidery to create intimate works that speak directly to human experience. She has worked on a number of publically engaged projects which aim to bring the value of mending to a wider audience. (BBC)

Her focus on making mending visible is really interesting and relevant for my project around sustainability and slow fashion. The sculptures by Rachel Kneebone showed a mastery of detail and perfect execution of each of the different engravings.
