Harriet Russell has yet another show coming up this time with her collective Gumbo. Blue Suede Shoes uses the well known phrase as a starting point. The artists played a game of ‘pass it on’ to produce a sequence of 12 lines of text. Through a series of word changes the story twists and turns to take you on a surreal journey into the imagination; thus Blue Suede Shoes become ‘Blue Suede Dinosaur’, transforming somehow into ‘Blue dinosaur soup’, and so on and so forth….Each artist then responded visually to these words to produce a rich mix of images. The exhibition runs from 7th - 21st October at Nancy Victor Gallery
