Déirdre Kelly

The Lie of the Land

Carolyn Curtis Magri & Déirdre Kelly

30th May – 18th August 2024

The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery

Carolyn Curtis Magri and Déirdre Kelly, wandering pathways, tracing trajectories point to point, exploring isolines, unfolding narratives with global threads. Evolving from a shared interest in mapping and researching place and creativity through textile-inflected lenses, both artists make particular reference to lacemaking and a pattern of interconnectedness which relates to both local networking and global diaspora. Their overlapping viewpoints stretch across the Mediterranean, Malta and Venice and now, here in Lancashire, informed by research in The Whitaker Collection and Archives.
