50 Rules for Making Art by Kate Just is a series of 50 brightly coloured, hand knitted, square panels of text.

About this series, Kate shares: “The rules look like knitted post-it-notes or reminders to self. The texts are in my own handwriting. I drew each text onto a knitting grid before stitching each panel. This series was made during the year I turned 50. While knitting, I reflected on the number of years I’ve lived and the many lessons I’ve learned about making art.”

Opening Event: Thursday 23rd May, 6-8pm, including artist talk to launch her accompanying publication.
