Rocio Chacon

An Evening with Laetitzia Campbell

Wed 11 March

Holly O'Brien\

Laetitzia will discuss her practice, the works on display, and her distinctive use of thread as a form of drawing. Working with intricate yet fluid lines, she allows loose threads to behave like sketch marks, creating compositions that shift between figuration and abstraction. The resulting works evoke movement, memory and the quiet passage of time. \ \ You will have the opportunity to view On Your Way Home, What Did You Find? exhibition which draws on Campbell's father's childhood journey home from school in Jamaica, using that daily walk as a metaphor for returning to the bittersweet moments that shape our sense of home. \ \ Doors open at 6.15pm. Talk starts at 6.30pm. \ \ Laetitzia Campbell is a British-French artist with Jamaican heritage based in London. She studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (BA) and the Institut Français de la Mode (MA). She worked for four years in the luxury industry in embroidery before concentrating solely on her own art practice. Campbell has reclaimed the intricate techniques learned through years in the luxury fashion industry as tools for deeply personal creative expression. Her work explores what she describes as 'second-hand memories': emotions passed down through objects, stories and gestures, and the quiet ways we try to hold onto them.
