Extended Family

Mandy McIntosh (UK) + West Country Knotters

Mandy McIntosh is a former knitwear designer for fashion house Kenzo. She left Paris in the 90s to develop a practice which includes film, animation, socially-engaged 'public art' and design. Extended Family is a leap from knitting to knots, produced through a collaborative process with Europa Chia-Ching Dawson and Richard Hopkins, local members of the West Country branch of the International Guild of Knot Tyers. This cluster of play, sitting and hammock objects provides a social space in the gallery. Visitors are invited to relax, talk, people watch, or browse books in the artist's craft reference library which dates back to the first knitting book she acquired at a school prize-giving as a thirteen year old in the 1970s.
