He recognises that both the world and how he feels about it change constantly, and so Gavin develops his ideas and documents these in his visual diaries and artworks. <\/p>\n<p>Gavin originally studied embroidery at Goldsmiths College in London under renowned and inspirational teachers, Eirian Short, Constance Howard and Audrey Walker. He is now a lecturer in visual communication at the University of Brighton where he gained his doctorate. Both his teaching and research are key to his art practice.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin\u2019s work has been showcased in exhibitions across the UK throughout his career from 1986 until 2019, his most recent being a body of work for the 62 Group exhibition \u2018Construct\u2019 at Sunny Bank Mills Gallery in Pudsey, West Yorkshire. <\/p>\n<p>In this interview, Gavin describes his most recent work, \u201924 hours in Police Custody\u2019 which he developed for the exhibition and which was inspired by the Channel 4 drama of the same name. Gavin takes us through the story of his visual diaries \u2013 with Debbie Harry making a guest appearance \u2013 and shares with us how he combined his beloved techniques of collage and hand-stitch with carefully selected printed cloth and thread to craft this intriguing piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gavin Fry is a hand embroiderer and collagist.
