Rumpelstiltskin in Exchange at Aspex Gallery Portsmouth until 22nd September. @aspexportsmouth @aspex_takepart @artistsinreside #aspexgallery @monica_bonomo @armstrongtactic @jobushnell @vickie.fear #sewingworkshops #sewingproject #sewinginthestreets rom July - September the three artists will complete a series of residencies, generating new artwork in response to the theme of Exchange and its potential meanings. These residencies run alongside an exhibition of the artist’s work, exploring the exchange of skills, knowledge and experiences; ownership and the trading of items, as well as currency. For Exchange, Stockwell will present Rumpelstiltskin, a new installation comprising hundreds of meters of cloth feeding through sewing machines, making clothes, inspired by fairy tales and their roles as metaphors for humanity. During her residency Stockwell will share sewing and mending skills with local people and create a flotilla of money boats which appear in surprise locations across the city.
