Ann-Marie James: Geometria
9 July – 22 September 2019
Ann-Marie James presented a new body of work made in response to Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture ‘Group of Three Magical Stones’ (1973).
The display included a series of paintings, a series of prints and a patchwork quilt.
James reworks imagery from art history to investigate her own responses to individual artworks, to the artists that made them and to their themes and origins.
This display was located in the Kettle’s Yard house.
