Artists

Five artists, one studio.

These are the people the studio is built around. Their profiles are being written with them, so what is here now is deliberately short.

Finished stitched panels hung along the studio wall, the work of the five artists below

Names are confirmed, and so is who makes what where the studio has told us. Portraits and biographies are still being collected, so those spaces are left open rather than filled in for anyone.

Profile

Three works in the gallery are signed Bull, all painted onto flattened Soko maize meal sacks. The rest of this profile is still being written with him.

The metalwork in the gallery is his: sheet panels and flattened tin labels cut to shape, scorched, and joined on a sewing machine. Seven pieces so far. The rest of this profile is still being written with him.
