Not Far From Here

'Not Far From Here' by Khloe Baker on display at Further North.

Khloe Baker creates anecdotal illustrations, collecting passing experiences that evoke a sense of belonging or familiarity. Layering coloured pencils and sometimes paper, she creates with an intuitive energy in an effort to catch a fleeting moment. Her affection for buildings and the stories which inhabit them are a repeating motif of her work, documenting incidental scenes such as the snow outside of a bakery, people gathered outside of a cinema, or a haircut in Hyde Park.

There Are Only So Many Ways You Can Write About Fruit - anthology launch

An evening of performance to launch There Are Only So Many Ways You Can Write About Fruit: an anthology full of poetry, prose and artwork about fruit, with over twenty contributors from across the UK, and the American poet of acclaim, Skyler Witherspoon.

You can expect a mix of moving words, humour and food (fruit?) for thought. This pamphlet is certainly a feast for the eyes. Okay, I'll stop making puns now...
