Common Thread - Works by Lyn Barlow and Grayson Perry
16 Sep 2023 - 1 Jan 2024
This autumn, East Quay is delighted to be exhibiting artworks by Lyn Barlow and Grayson Perry.
Common Thread is a new exhibition at East Quay in Watchet, Somerset, featuring tapestries by Grayson Perry and embroidered works by local artist and activist Lyn Barlow. The exhibition celebrates two very different artists: one a well-known public figure and artist of international standing and the other an extraordinary but relatively hidden talent working locally in West Somerset. Both artists use thread to powerfully tell tales of trials and tribulations, but also activism, stoicism, and strength.
