Prudence MacLeod Prize Announcement

As part of our brand new partnership with National Art School (Australia), we’re pleased to announce multidisciplinary artist Anna Mould as the inaugural winner of the Prudence MacLeod Prize, supported by the Lansdowne Foundation.

The award offers a recent NAS graduate a six-month residency at our Fire Station building, providing space and support to expand their practice, build international networks, and create a new body of work.

Engaging with a range of media including embroidery, painting, weaving and photography, Anna Mould’s practice explores complex social, cultural and political themes. Using a technique akin to collage, she creates visual and conceptual juxtapositions between historical and contemporary references, that aim to conjure an acknowledgement of one’s location in time and space as a part of greater global human history. Recurring themes in her work include; hierarchies of fine art and decorative art; the gendered associations of textile art; and the ways in which certain artforms have been used to express specific political ideas.

Huge congratulations to Anna and we look forward to welcoming her to London. You can learn more about this new opportunity for emerging Australian artists here.
