Manchester Art Gallery retail showcase
As winner of the Manchester Art Gallery retail showcase award at the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair Manchester 2019, I am doing a takeover at the gallery shop from 16 September 2021. The work includes a small flock of city pigeons, settled in various places around the shop, work inspired by the gallery collection, things on wheels, and a whole host of creatures of debatable character. The showcase will run until the end of the year.
