A new exhibition of contemporary craft art, centred around housing politics and space, is coming to Glasgow.

Running from October 17 to 26, If Only We Had The Space will be hosted at Platform in the city.

The exhibition will feature pieces from Jeni Allison, Jack Brindley, Deirdre Nelson, and Fionn Duffy, as well as archival material and interviews with craft makers.

Each piece tells a unique story, with Allison's tapestries reflecting her experiences of tenement living and motherhood.

Nelson's knitted money box and Duffy's ceramic works also form part of the exhibition.

Brindley's stained glass works, which he describes as "art to live with, rather than art to look at", also feature.

The aim is to document housing activist movements and redevelopment schemes in Glasgow during this time.

Soizig Carey, speaking on behalf of the curatorial team, said: “In a hyper capitalist society, many artists and makers experience job and housing insecurity, and are priced out of adequate studio or making spaces.

"Homes become the space where they create and produce work.

"We have been asking artists and makers: how does this impact or restrict what and how you create?

"Does it change how you inhabit or perceive your home?"

The exhibition is curated by Rachel Ashenden, Soizig Carey, Jemima Dansey-Wright, and Murray Morrant, all participants in Craft Scotland’s Compass Emerging Curators Programme.
