The Commission

I carried on with this technique, experimenting with different thicknesses of bags, and drawing on my knitting skills to create patterns and designs.
Three of the small works were exhibited at View Two in Liverpool in 2009: http://www.viewtwogallery.co.uk/archives/event-soup-at-view-2
It was shortly after this, that the call out for designs for the Go Penguin project was announced. I really didn't think they would go for a knitted penguin, but I submitted a design anyway, and was thrilled when it was accepted. Especially, as I was to be sponsored by the Environment Agency!
The Penguin was exhibited in The Capital Building in Liverpool : http://www.gopenguins.co.uk/site/index.php
