"Like It. Lump It. We Are All Connected" already exists as a 12ft by 6 ft crocheted work.
In 2018 it is set to grow to 5 times its size through an Arts Council England and Cheshire Community Foundation funded project. During 2017 there will be 5 focuses for "Like It. Lump It. We Are All Connected". Each focus will have a different topic and be sited in a new location. Their will be a series of participatory events during each focus and an exhibition. There will be chance for people to create their own crocheted circle for inclusion in the work at public events or on their own. If you wold like to create a piece for inclusion in the exhibitions an artists brief is here. More info will be on this blog about each focus but a quick synopsis is here too:
