Sally Buchanan

After several fallow years the Artist is pleased to announce that she has resumed making work again. Curation projects so far this year include Memories and Mementos I – the first retrospective show to document the work of 10 BAR (Brent Artists’ Resource) Artists at WWW Gallery Salusbury Rd NW6 4-30 January 2022 followed by the first Free Painters and Sculptors Members show for 2 years at The Muse Gallery, Portobello 2-20 February 2022. The project below is the Artists’s most recent personal installation – a site specific work for the Accessible Art Fair at BOZAR Brussels October 2018 entitled ‘Arca Dei.’ Meanwhile watch this page for news of work in progress. An old unfinished large scale lace embroidery project has been bought out of storage- perhaps the work was hibernating for 12 years- all curled up in a very dark studio cupboard – too high up to be eaten by the mice! Lily (the Artist’s faithful sewing machine) has been dusted off and she is sewing like the clappers. A mere 39227 stitches yesterday! (7th July 2022)
