Current Exhibitions

The cathedrals exhibitions tours continue in 2011/12. They are on view at different times in Bristol Cathedral, Coventry Cathedral, Exeter Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral, Rochester Cathedral, York Minster, and Beverley Minster. See www.cathedral exhibition.org.uk for details.

Future Plans

In 2011/12 Jacqui is working on several interesting projects, including:

RUN! - a new set of screens for touring in cathedrals, designed to resonate with the excitement of the 2012 Olympics in London.

LIFE, LOSS AND LAUNDRIES - an exhibition of artwork inspired by the traditions of women's work in mending and washing in Victorian and Edwardian time.

GOOD GRIEF? - a book of artwork exploring her grief following the death of her first husband Rob Frost in 2007. Jacqui stitched an extraordinary set of vintage handkerchiefs as she worked through her grief. These have become the centre piece of a travelling exhibition, and now are being developed into two books.
