New window display at Fanny & Fox

Our new window display has a very Autumnal feeling about it.

We all had input on this particular window in one way or another.

Keri and I collected the willow which was kindly donated by Penryn high school garden. Pam cut down a tree and drove it to the gallery with it poking out of her sun roof, what a sight that must have been. 

We are all particularly pleased with our fox and moon.. We couldn't decide at one stage whether to cover it in coloured tissue or paint it.. We are so happy that we decided to leave well alone, it could have all gone a bit wrong..

The re hang will happen soon, I will post updates soon..

The Journey...

With all that's been happening in this crazy world of ours and the plight of many Pam Tongue came up with a brilliant idea.

The idea  is to make small clay figures whilst we share conversations on how the town of Penryn can to unite and reach out and help the refugees fleeing from the devastation and horror in their native countries.

To link Pam Tongues idea there is on  view at the Fannie & Fox gallery is an thought provoking installation of work.

'A Common Thread'

by

Julie Howe

'A Common Thread' is about the imperceptible links that join us all.

The analogy between the dolls and humans? We may all look different on the outside underneath we are all vulnerable.

It begun with a simple pattern made from a cereal box cut out in calico and stitched. Each 'doll' started with the same pattern but their own DNA, stretched and altered, evolving as they were made. One 'doll' led to another and became this installation of 108 pieces.

This work was started in despair and ended in the reassuring knowledge that we are all linked in some way by 'A Common Thread'. We are all the same.

Willow, bamboo and a lot of sticky tape.. A new window in progress

This week at Fannie & Fox  in the downstairs studio we have had the first of our 3 planned sessions to work on the construction of our new autumn window..

Any clues to what it is yet?
