The exhibition eight showcases the work of a group of eight contemporary artists with different backgrounds and styles. Two years where each artist has been working on individual art pieces within a communal studio space has come to an end. Swapping ideas, conversations and techniques daily has allowed the artists to share inspirations and this research and sense of play is now culminating in this final group show. Eight will reveal to the public a range of contrasting styles and mediums enabling the transition of eight fellow students into eight emerging and individual artists. A journey that started together will end together.

Upcoming Event: [Recommends] PULLING THE THREADS: Embroidered Graffiti

Sunday 26 June 2011 - Saturday 3 September 2011

Tameside Central Art Gallery

In her debut solo show Sarah uses the traditional craft of embroidery to vandalise and graffiti everyday objects with emotive, political and thoughtful text. Fridges, doors, food and sinks become the canvases for hidden thoughts.

Sarah Greaves is an artist whose practice crosses art-forms. The delicate feminine craft of embroidery is combined with the vandalising qualities of graffiti. Through her Embroidered Graffiti she raises questions about stereotyped identities and gender roles, our relationships with our bodies, and how the domestic and private become public.
