ActionSpace Artists Andrew Omoding, Linda Bell, Nnena Kalu and Lasmin Salmon exhibited in Radical Craft:Alternative Ways of Making exhibition, which opened at Pallant House Gallery, then toured UK-wide.
Radical Craft: Alternative Ways of Making was a Craftspace and Outside In touring exhibition that celebrated creativity by self-taught artists from across the UK and abroad who make work in a private domain outside the mainstream.
“I particularly admired the baffling but beautiful work made by Nnena Kalu, who like Judith Scott, obsessively wraps and binds her pieces until they resemble large and often colourful cocoons. Part of the attraction of Kalu’s sculptures are that they, almost uniquely here, appear to have no narrative at all; they are pure form” Marcus Field – Crafts Magazine
