⏳ 18 DAYS TO GO! Applications for the Kate Derum & Irene Davies Awards close on 7 September, don’t miss your chance to apply!

Let’s revisit 2024 Kate Derum Award winner ‘Gleanings (self-portrait)’ by Anna Dunnill. In this tapestry, Dunnill explores ‘gleaning’, gathering and repurposing things that might otherwise be discarded or overlooked. Thread waste, beads, grass and hair are woven into the work, transforming them into something precious.

As the artist describes, “These gleanings, carefully selected and arranged, form a kind of map of myself. They take on an aura of preciousness, jewels made from rubbish.”

❗️ Applications Close 7 September
