LITTORAL LIGHT II -Ramsgate, UK. Friday 28th 2017 /  by Susan Allbert

I'm excited to be part of the line-up for Littoral Light II, the annual twilight art exhibition set in the tidal zone of Ramsgate beach, Kent, UK. Organized by the artists' collective ARTICLE 10, it runs for one night only. As the sun sets and the tide recedes, 40 British and international artists will exhibit unique and exciting sculpture, installation, sound, and light with the white cliffs of Ramsgate as the backdrop. 

  I'm showing a series of luminescent needlepoint panels which take their cue from old embroidery samplers. Installed along the cliff face, they examine notions of displacement and belonging.

Japanese crafts are available until December 18th at the Holiday Pop-up, beautifully curated by Curious Corners. There you can also find my Japanese indigo pencil cases. Each pencil inside is inscribed with the words "Draw Freely On Your Imagination". A great gift for the creative in your life plus they are hand-made here in Brooklyn, New York using 100% natural Japanese sukumo indigo.
