At our March meeting we welcomed a number of visitors when Alice Fox came to talk to us about the work she did in 2012 whilst she was Artist in Residence at Spurn Point, a nature reserve and a place which is very exposed to the weather. Alice was based there for six months and found the old lighthouse to be very useful for sheltering from the weather and also for displaying the work she had produced during her residency.
Her work from this time shows a range of marks and stains made on fabric and paper by the collection of discarded objects she found at Spurn Point:
The objects were trapped or stitched into cloth and exposed to the outside elements over a period of time, which resulted in a beautiful range of marks on the cloth and stitch. The members and visitors very much enjoyed Alice's talk and found her work to be both interesting and inspirational, which generated much discussion.
