Up Your Street
Up Your Street was a contemporary craft-based exhibition
that ran in The Dick Institute, Kilmarnock, during Spring 2007. The
exhibition focused on eight makers for whom the creative
process is inextricably linked with the environment in which they
live, be it rural, urban or domestic. These makers included
Caroline Dear, Sharon Elphick, Beth Legg, Janet Mason, Laura
McCafferty, Gareth Neal, Dot Sim, and Donna Wilson. The pieces
shown are, directly or indirectly, a reflection of the surroundings
in which they were made or conceived. This exhibition is a
celebration and an investigation into how the environment and the
creative process affects the work of the makers.
This exhibition was curated by Katy Bevan in association with Develop Craft Ayrshire.
