Sarah Stamp I have been finishing off the writing part of my public announcement, reading prime ministers speeches to get ideas. The announcement is quite detailed in places as I wanted to have the feel of government policies/acts of parliament, […]

The past few weeks for BaseNorth have been riddled with uncertainty. Last week we were informed that the building, which houses Rednile, our studios and the gallery (where we have been preparing to have our exhibition) was sold. In short, […]
