Textile artist Kate Jenkins will bring her one-of-a-kind, sequined, embroidered, and knitted fish counter and Oyster Cart to Soho, London for a solo show that will see the celebrated artist - who celebrates 20 years of her studio this year - manning the counter.
Customers will be able to choose their own plate from the selection – sequinned anchovies, knitted prawns, embroidered oysters and mussels and more - and have it mounted on a choice of predesigned plates or platters. Each one is signed by the Brighton based artist in limited edition and priced from £100. The interactive, joyful and celebratory installation will show at Air Contemporary Gallery, Ham Yard, Soho from 20 September to 5 October.
