About Jessamine's Residency

Writer Jessamine O'Connor has been invited to make a creative response to the themes of our winter 2020/21 exhibitions THREADS and Air Looms. This will take the form of written work, such as poetry, fiction or non-fiction, to be published on this website in January. She will also compile playlists inspired by her visits to the galleries. Both exhibitions are rich in visual imagery, contemporary cultural and political issues. With the expansive range of ideas expressed in both exhibitions Jessamine is looking forward to developing ideas which mediate the work to a wider audience of readers and listeners.
