Podcast: Artist Interview with Ptolemy Mann

Hello and welcome to this episode of the Fen Ditton Gallery podcast, with me, Hannah Munby.

My conversation today is with textile artist Ptolemy Mann, whose exquisite bold woven works will be shown in our upcoming exhibition Going Yellow. In this conversation, Ptolemy and I discuss her bohemian upbringing; how her extensive colour theory training allows her to break the rules, how she has owned the phrase ‘Chromatic minimalism’, and why textile artists should be taken seriously in the contemporary art world.

Going Yellow is a multidisciplinary exhibition at Fen Ditton Gallery from the 14th October to 12th November. It continues an occasion series of shows that focus on artists who are inspired by and explore colour in their practice. Visit fendittongallery.com to find out more about the exhibition.

We are proud to be supporting Hospice UK’s Go Yellow campaign this autumn and will be donating a percentage of sales from this exhibition to support the work they do in providing vital end of life care. For more information about Hospice UK, you can visit hospiceuk.org.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy this conversation!
