Alice Kettle - Unexpected Find







Piece by Alice Kettle at Platt Hall Gallery of Costume

Close up Detail
Whilst visiting Platt Hall Gallery of Costume I came across this small picture by Alice kettle.  Most of the work I have seen of hers has been on a very large scale such as those in the Whitworth Art Gallery, but this piece was relatively small.  It was donated by the artist herself after her exhibition "Telling Fortunes" in 2010.  I was able to buy a copy of a brochure produced for the exhibition.  It was interesting to read the artists statement, her inspiration and explanation of how she views the work.    

Another interesting find were some ceramics she produced in collaboration with Alex McErlain.
