FOREST + FOUND Working collaboratively under their studio practice Forest + Found, Max Bainbridge and Abigail Booth work with wood, natural pigments and textiles, to produce sculptural and wall-based works. Bainbridge works on sculptures, taking the natural forms of the material as a starting point for carving and working sections of wood into anthropological objects, and Booth produces large, abstract textile pieces that deconstruct the language of drawing and painting using natural pigments to produce fragmented compositions on the wall. Specialising in building relationships between grounded objects and the abstract, liminal space in their textiles, they create installations that allow audiences to interact spatially and conceptually with their work.

EMILY JO GIBBS CONTACT 6 Tarleton Gardens Forest Hill London SE23 3XN UK +44 (0)7712 650094 emily@emilyjogibbs.co.uk emilyjogibbs.co.uk Emily Jo Gibbs specialises in hand-stitched silk organza appliqué. This new body of work was created to celebrate the skill, dexterity and the creative problem-solving of people who make things, recognising the value of clever hands in an increasingly digital and cerebral age. Concerned about the position of making in the hierarchy of skills we value as a society, and how this is exacerbated by the decline of making in schools, Gibbs has stitched a series of portraits of contemporary makers to reflect how proud she is to be a member of this creative community.
