Thrilling new Exhibition!

Thrilling new Exhibition! - Wirrral, UK

I can not show images yet as the Artist Books are displayed within the Permanent Collection and are to be discovered as hidden treasure.

It was such a thrill to visit the Williamson Art Gallery & Museum, Wirral.

I had to search for my own work amongst the permanent treasures.

Also it has been many years since I visited the Williamson. A treat indeed. A lovely place to visit.

Carrie Scott Huby is exhibiting with

‘Doesn’t look like a book / Hidden in the Open’

‘National and International artists from far and wide have been making handmade books out of ordinary everyday objects, to exhibit in the gallery. They have made books, but they don’t look like books.’ The exhibition is curated by Wirral artist Wendy Williams www.facebook.com/events/1674409392795379/

Doesn’t look like a book / Hidden in the Open Runs Thursday 1 October to Sunday 1 November 2015 From 1 October 2015, visitors to the Williamson Art gallery, will be invited to take part in a treasure hunt to uncover over 20 hidden artworks. Visitors are invited to pick up a ‘treasure map’ from the gallery foyer and find all of the books on display. You may even get a prize if all artworks are found! Far from being a traditional exhibition, the books will sit beside the objects in the gallery. Blending in, hidden, but out in the open.

braving new technology

During my Artist-in-Residence at Batley Art Gallery, West Yorks, Uk. Autum 2009 I was filmed talking about the the art work I was producing for that specific Aerist-in-Residence project. My huge thanks to my friend Si, I am now on You Tube: an interview with Carrie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reY2hF2gyO4 The film was made by Si King, Skater, Photographer, Film Maker , Lover of Adventure, along with snow100.

... I love vast stretches of sea and sky, I feel I am on the edge of something, an anticipation hangs between, betwixt sea and sky...

...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire . Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape. Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
