I’ve been recording each year, by stitching newspaper faces, for about a decade. Here is 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019. I’m finally about to start this year’s version - on a tablecloth I bought from the Salvation Army in Durham. I couldn’t be happier… #theaudience2025 #stitchedpaper
Ego maniac alert! This wasn’t finished in time for my Barbican Library show (a load of stitched collages made from Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation book, lacking women artists). Photo of me by Michelle Richards from Alice Fisher‘s Observer article. The back is better than the front, obvs

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, of course. Not sure what is left mind. I’ll ask him tonight and get back to you x
Most people walk straight past my exhibition on their way to see the Blondie one. Fair play though, Martyn Goddard sure knows how to take a photo. It’s about 30 seconds walk away from mine, if you fancy combining the two.
