Jo Cope – The Wisdom Is in Your Feet exhibition
From Hub Sleaford’s website:
With a background in fashion, performance and leathercraft, Jo Cope, has spent the last decade reimagining an alternative life for shoes. Her work explores the idea that shoes and feet carry deeper meanings and wisdom. […]
In the exhibition the audience is asked to think through their feet. Considering walking as a metaphor for life’s journey, with feet, paths, and directions as moral and symbolic guides. Jo is interested in encouraging a deeper look at the power that might be hidden in our feet and their potential to impact positive thoughts and actions.
The exhibition at Hub Sleaford in the UK is curated by Lesley Farrell and designed by Ashleigh Armitage.
Ashleigh wrote that she chose Bricolage Grotesque because “the forms perfectly echo the lines of our feet and Jo’s work”.
