TO BOLDLY SEW – TEXTILE ART BY ALICE KETTLE

Several significant and large works made over nearly twenty years feature in what is a large-scaleAlice-Kettle-A5-Flyer-digital.pdf solo presentation of the artist’s work over two London venues. The works range in date from 2006 (The Schiffli Series) to 2023.

Each year The Brookfield Properties Craft Award honours a maker who has pushed the boundaries and achieved excellence in the contemporary craft sphere. Each year, the winning artist is selected from Crafts Council’s Collect, the leading international fair for contemporary craft and design. The winning artist is the subject of a solo exhibition at Brookfield Properties’ central London landmark venues and has artworks acquired for and accessioned into the Crafts Council Collection.

This year’s winner sees Alice Kettle, represented by Candida Stevens Gallery, as the recipient of the 2023 Brookfield Properties Craft Award from over 400 makers. The works acquired for the Crafts Council Collection are Three Girls, 2022; Little Bird, 2022; and The Swimmers, 2023 which can be seen in the 99 Bishopsgate exhibition.
