Dutch artist Sophie Ploeg, who is based in Bristol, won the BP Travel Award from the National Portrait Gallery in 2013 for her proposal to explore how lace is represented in 17th century art and modern applications.  The results of her work will be on display at the Gallery opening on June 26th.
The exhibition will subsequently travel to the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens (Oct 4-Nov 16, 2014) and The Scottish National Portrait Gallery(Nov 28, 2014 – Apr 12, 2015).
Her work is amazing (especially look at her blog), and LaceNews is working on an interview with Sophie which will be posted shortly.
