Daughters of Penelope Poster (New Version)
Designed by James Brook for Dovecot Gallery, 2017
Poster | 850 x 620 mm
Dovecot Gallery asked me to re-work the poster that I designed for Daughters of Penelope, Dovecot Gallery’s Edinburgh Art Festival 2017 exhibition. The original poster, outside the gallery, had become damaged during the recent heavy rain so we took the opportunity to use a new photograph, by Stuart Armitt, to represent the exhibition; it shows Linder’s Diagrams of Love: Marriage of Eyes with a detail from Julie Brook’s work in the background. Daughters of Penelope ‘interweaves the work of artists who are investigating women’s stories and textile histories with the unique story of women’s work at Dovecot, providing a new structure within which both can be held, re-examined and strengthened.’
