  • Somerset Film at The Engine Room 50-52 High Street Bridgwater, Somerset TA6 3BL United Kingdom (map)

Free

The Creative Network is a free event for artists to network and share ideas. This month’s topic is art and activism, our guest speaker is Lydia Needle, an art eco-activist.

Lydia Needle ;
”With my work, I contemplate our impact on the earth, what we denude or enhance, whether that be in terms of our planet or our communities. To that end, I use waste, ecologically sound or vintage materials including textile fibres, yarns, and fabric to create dialogue about our environmental impact and the human cost of consumption.

I use a variety of methods such as sculpting, papermaking, mending and stitch to convey this visual language within my work.

I am a member of Seam Collective, and the Lead Artist and Curator of the ongoing collaborative creative project called ‘FIFTY BEES: The Interconnectedness of All Things’.”
