Dry Humping*

Aim
In Spring '23 I put an Open Call out inviting artists to make work in the style of my work for a 'solo' show called Dry Humping*
Earlier this year I was thinking about the idea of the 'artist's voice' or their signature style, and wondered if I had such a thing. In order to find out I put an Open Call out, inviting people to submit work that was in the style of my work, to be considered for inclusion in a 'solo' show (by me!). I gave them my website address (www.sadiehennessy.co.uk) as I didn't assume they'd be familiar with what I do. Then I waited to see what came back. There were over 70 responses which I whittled down to 45. These works have now been brought together in a beautiful publication, with essays from Dr Lucy Howarth, Camilla Ellingsen Webster and Professor Matthew Worley, published by Ambitious Outsiders Press. The selected artworks will also be exhibited at the Studio 1.1 Gallery in Shoreditch in November 2023.
I am fundraising to cover the costs of mounting the exhibition. In order to do that I am inviting you to pre-order the Dry Humping* book, which will be retailing at £20.
If you are feeling particularly splashy, you may like to treat yourself to the heavy duty 100% cotton Dry Humping* tea towel, at a modest £15.
Or buy both, plus surprise gift(s) for £40
(Plus P+P £4)
Both items would make marvellous Christmas presents for that awkward-to-buy-for art lover in your life.
Thank you
