Matt Bartlett and Bliss Ashley
We also have Matt Bartlett, an artist and writer from Somerset, whose works encompass sculpture, print, and 2d practices. His contribution was a collaboration with one of our co-founders Bliss Ashley, entitled The Moon, Two Dogs, and a Lobster.
Lillian Tagg
Our final contributer is Lillian Tagg, an artist trained at the Ruskin School of Art. Their piece for us combines their fascination with textiles and their anti-fascist beliefs, as in the dead of night Tagg and her family tear down the Far Right’s imposition of flags across South Essex.
