Textile artist Ann Tutt is showing a collection of work which is multi-faceted, taking a wry look at imitation in the fashion industry whilst exploring the emotions of feeling like an outsider artist.
Ann Tutt has created a range of textiles, garments, and art, based around manipulated logos and designs, which will include elements from the local convenience shop co-op, which has been a focus stemming from Ann’s Lancastrian weaving roots. All the materials used are recycled. Sustainability and using what’s at hand is core to Ann’s work.
