Harriet Fletcher
Through the exploration of craft materials, Harriet's practice highlights the significance and beauty of objects and collections. Her work crosses materials and techniques, largely focusing upon textile and ceramic media, but also exploring paper and wood through various contemporary craft processes including stitch, print, laser and waterjet cutting.
Harriet pursues the development of her creative practice through commissions, exhibitions and residencies, alongside work as an artist educator for various organisations and age groups including YSP, The Hepworth, Wakefield, The Whitworth, Manchester and various universities. Harriet is also Creative Director of Everybody Arts in Halifax, a charity with an art school, gallery and artist studios, which provides opportunity and engagement with art for all ages and all abilities.

Kimsooja: A Needle Woman: Galaxy was a Memory, Earth is a Souvenir
Kimsooja developed this elegant and towering conical sculpture in collaboration with scientists at Cornell University. The nanopolymer in which its panels are covered enhances the refractive qualities of light, giving an iridescent effect similar to that which occurs naturally on the wings of a butterfly or a beetle’s shell. It is responsive to changing light conditions and brought to life by sunlight on its surface.
