So glad I stayed up late finishing a response to the Hodge Review 🙄

A thread on my response 👇🏻

As 1/3 American, I’ll take this moment to remind my fellow creatives that whilst no institution is perfect, the fact that @artscouncilengland.bsky.social exists is critical to artists’ independence.

We are running research workshops with @librariesunlimited.bsky.social for a *book* about nurturing the artist in every child. The first workshop is full but we have spaces at Brixham and Paignton libraries: Kids Art Space - Brixham Library www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/kids-art-s...

“Robbing Peter” by Joe Cunningham, 2015. The title comes from a traditional patchwork design with alternating colors, where segments are "robbed" from one block to form the design of another. The #springbudget made me think of this quilt, big blocks of govt. spend squeezing out smaller ones. #quilts

“She’s Lost Control Again” by Irene Roderick, 2019: “The morning I started creating the quilt I was angered by national news and was "seeing red!" I wanted to express the chaos and lack of control I was feeling as I worked” #modernquilts #quilt #fridayfavourites

Beautiful snowy day to be lecturing @uniofexeter.bsky.social with the MA Curation cohort. We talked culture, politics & money and I got to play Rachel Reeves for the morning. I didn’t cut any taxes but I did hand out some knighthoods and increase the culture budget by 0.4% #justsayin

Hi good people, nice to be in this space. I help councils & cultural organisations with their strategic plans & fundraising, I make quilts dyed with plants and being in the woods is my happy place 🌳 🪡 🤓
