Event overview:

Saskia Wickins will be exhibiting at the Black Swan gallery (Round Tower gallery) in Frome for the duration of the Frome festival, along side the renowned illustrator Ralph Steadman.<o:p></o:p>

Coming from a textile design course Saskia has found it an exciting challenge fighting for what she believes can be called textiles. Saskia work on a smaller scale than most and use a variety of paper, fabric bits and bobs to create thoughtful installation pieces.<o:p></o:p>

Saskia will be graduating from Bath spa University this summer. This will be her second solo exhibition following an installation in the Bath spa gallery space back in 2009.<o:p></o:p>

Something surviving looks at the everyday existence within a personal environment. <o:p></o:p>

The cress is used to represent endurance presenting nature as the strongest force <o:p></o:p>

The scale of the piece is a reflection on how everyday occurrences can be forgotten.
