For this exhibition I asked writer Annika Harding if she would put together a few words on the show. I was very pleased when she did. I printed them off on pompom encrusted glossy paper which made them particularly popular.
You too can read what she wrote Here.

Have A Ball (Pompom Cluster)

Pompom parties, small children and many other keen makers contributed to the creation of this artwork- not to mention the hundreds of pompoms i made myself! The pompoms then clustered together in this spot for a small while before gradually dispersing as visitors where invited to choose a pompom, snip, and take it home
Have A Ball(Pompom Cluster), 2012. Wool, paper, foam, hook, shelf, scissors.
