Pillow Talk exhibiting at Uniqlo TATE LATES

Pillow Talk exhibiting at Uniqlo TATE LATES

I’m very excited to be part of the next Uniqlo Tate Late! on the 23rd February.

My pillow made in 2016, will be shown alongside my mothers’ pillow as well as 58 other brilliant pillow artworks by women artists from the SLWA & the WAL.

Uniqlo Tate Late Workshops – we’ll be on Level 2 in the Blavatnik Building.

Pillow Talk is a collection of women artists that captures stories giving
a visual dialogue on women’s histories, experiences and psyches. Sixty
hand painted, printed, appliqued and sewn pillows explore diverse
themes ranging from love, memory and loss, to science and the
environment, to politics and war. The pillows are laid out on the floor
in the shape of the female symbol and visitors are offered a place to
sit, read and have conversations. At its heart, sits a mobile library full
of publications, catalogues, magazines and ephemera about women
artists, echoing the themes of the pillows and selected by the Women’s
Art Library – women being inspired by women. Paying homage to the
centenary of women getting the vote in February 1918, Pillow Talk
contributes to a collective multi-layered memory of women’s art history
and the achievements of contemporary women artists.
