Mali Morris at Ledbury Poetry Festival
The Ledbury Poetry Festival has commissioned Mali Morris to design a backdrop to our main venue, the Burgage Hall. It is a giant screen made of different coloured silks which will take up most of the back wall space behind the stage and will be unveiled at the Festival launch on Friday 3rd July. Mali will also be showing up to 10 works on paper at the Hospitality Room upstairs in the Heritage Centre on Church Lane, ledbury. Because this is not for public access but, strictly speaking, by invitation only, if any of you should want to visit just make yourselves known to whoever is manning Hospitality and you will be invited in. Mali is one of our best contemporary abstract artists with a track record of exhibitions throughout the UK and abroad, and she is also a selector for the prestigious Jerwood Prize. Above all, please feel free to drop in and enjoy this show at any time from 3rd to 12th July. You can visit her website on: http://www.malimorris.co.uk/ | |
