Regrets, I’ve Had a Few

Mendick worked with a group of Ilford-based older people to explore hindsight, nostalgia and storytelling through ceramics and textiles. Together they built clay effigies in the shape of the advice they wish they had listened to, or would like to impart to others. Also made in collaboration with her mother, a talented children’s clothes designer and seamstress, the exhibition presents an intergenerational conversation examining why we rarely listen to advice.
