Laura McCafferty

I was invited to hold a solo exhibition at The Rochester Art Gallery. The exhibition was called A Generation, as at the time I was focusing my attention on the older generation. From the gallery website, ‘The illustrative and narrative work of Laura McCafferty documents the lives of real life characters in everyday situations. Her screen-printed and individually hand-embroidered textile pieces incorporate fabrics gathered from a broad range of sources – new, old, found, recycled, loved and donated.‘ The exhibition also included an artist’s talk, it was at this event that Diana Springall purchased ‘Lady with flower stall’, for her embroidery collection.
