Finders Keepers – Tales in Textiles! Touring exhibition by Digswell Alumni Connie Flynn   

Written by Digswell Arts

On January 18, 2017

In June 2015 Connie was the Artist in Residence at Sumburgh Lighthouse Shetland, during the residency she researched the social history aspect of the keepers and their families who stayed, worked and lived at the lighthouse. Connie recorded these experiences in her sketchbook, this then developed by using cloth, constructing textile wall hangings, each one decorated with different surface effects and hand stitched techniques.

We are a collective of five working artists who meet regularly to share and discuss the progress of our work. Through doing so we have identified a number of common themes; memory, loss, re-emergence and return. These are expressed by each of us through a variety of concepts and techniques. Our practices include drawing, painting and printmaking; sculpture; photography and film;
documentation, installation and live art.
