Social knitwork at Social Scaffolding, The Designer Outlet Centre, Swindon, 11- 26 November 2023
Swindon was the final venue in Social Scaffolding's 6-venue, Arts Council-funded tour in the South West of England between April and November 2023. in 2022, before the tour, we faciliated two pilot exhibitions in Taunton and at the Emerge Showcase at Bath Spa University in Bath. We also exhibited at two other Emerge Showcases in 2023. Please visit the Social Scaffolding website for full details. Many thanks to other Social Scaffolding artists,the Alyson Minkley and Juliet Duckworth, and to the Emerge community for all their support throughout.
Over the 12 days that we were open in Swindon, visitors were invited to add strips of cloth, pompoms and labels to the Social knitwork installation. It was transformed. Many visitors made pompoms with us, and we had lots of brilliant conversations.
Look how the installation changed with all the additions!
