LIMOGES BIENNALE 1986
‘The Limoges Biennale 1986 was in some ways a triumph for BSOE. We had been formed for just over a year and I had been invited to be a member of the international jury. Despite the title of ‘international’ jury, there were six French jurors and just three from outside France, Kurt Neun from Germany, Andreu Vilasis from Spain and myself.
Ten members had work accepted. They were, Phil Barnes, Pauline Barrie, Iris Hudson, Sarah Letts, Evangeline Long, Amal Ghosh, Joan MacKarell, Alexandra Placzek, David Evan Turner and Elizabeth Turrell. Both Phil’s pieces were sold, the Bee Box to the Geneva Museum of Clocks and Enamels. Evangeline Long’s Barn II (Diptych) was commended. Both of Joan MacKarell’s exquisite pebble boxes were sold and Alex’s plique-a-jour bowl, ‘Frogs & Tadpoles’ was also bought by the Geneva museum. Both Elizabeth Turrell and Amal Ghosh were awarded prizes for their work.’
