Making Sense
An exhibition of textile work by artists
Jane George and Rachel Grant.
Bilston Craft Gallery: Dec 6th 08 – Jan 3rd 09
Private View: Saturday 6th December 12:00pm – 3:30pm
“George & Grant” is a collaborative partnership between two
West Midlands based Textile Artists,
Jane George and Rachel Grant.
The work they create together explores their parallel journeys
of motherhood and how, through creative dialogue and support,
they can make sense of the issues facing them in relation to their
sense of self. Juggling desires, guilt, drama and passion in equal
measure, George and Grant have found common ground on which
they both stand as mothers.

A fun day where myself and 3 other Bvacians took part in a flash Mob exhibition in Birmingham. The date..16th August 2008, the 5 viewing stations…1.Birmingham High Street. 2. St Philips Grounds, 3. Victoria Square, 4. Centenary Square, 5. Oozels Square.
Reactions ranged from genuine interest, British embarrassment, bemused interest and drunken abuse! A great day though, thanks to all who said hello and came along to support us. Thanks also to Antonio Roberts, Nick Duxbury and Jo Mills, my partners in crime for the day.

6th-8th June saw the very first exhibition Of B-VAC at the works gallery in Digbeth, Birmingham. The exhibition took the name B-VAC itself as the inspiration and artists could respond in any way to it. Here is my statement from the show.
I took the hyphen from the name B-VAC, which is defined as ‘ a short connecting line joining 2 seperate parts’. To me that spoke of the connection i have to my babies, both born and unborn and it immediately threw up images of the umbilical cord that for one magical moment in time allows that connection to become physically tangible and to take on flesh.
over 100 people attended the private view evening, which was a great success.
Great to see everybody elses translation of the same theme coming together in such a diverse show.
