The show comprises of a range of work through various mediums from subversive knitting and miniature installation to ephemeral notes on a blackboard.

Denise has produced this body of work in response to the appointment as artist in residence at Frances Bardsley School from September 2008. It has been an opportunity for her to further consider and connect with the concept of communal art. While the work offers a variety of aesthetic approaches the concepts of construction, ordering and sharing are present in every piece giving the exhibition a ramshackle sense of unity.

The exhibition will be documented through a variety of communal art interactions by the audience including an ever growing a piece of crochet, a chance to order and photograph your own installation adding to the Polaroid wall and an opportunity to spread and share art by writing and drawing on specially created postcards by the artist which can be sent out far and wide.

The exhibition will run from 18th March to 3rd April 9.30-12.20 and 13.30-4.30 Monday to Friday The artist will be available for artists talks to individuals and groups. It is necessary to confirm Denise’s availability in advance.

The private view will take place on Tuesday 17th March from 6.30 to 9.30pm. This is a free event and all are welcome.
