Fusco was a Cambridge Visual Culture visiting fellow at Kettle’s Yard in May 2025. As part of her residency, Fusco worked daily with Ayres’ 1972 painting, now on permanent display in the house. For this informal event, Fusco will read from her text in situ, inviting visitors to take a closer look at Ayres’ work.
If you would like to visit the Kettle’s Yard house after the talk, please book a ticket here.

Bold and Fast, Minimal and Tonal – try taking a line for a walk in a variety of different ways. Together, we will gather inspiration from the artworks found in the house at Kettle’s Yard by artists Ben Nicholson, Elizabeth Vellacott, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and more. We will then return to the studio where Hilary will support you to develop your sketches and try different techniques to develop your own artworks to take home.
Please note: This workshop includes a break for lunch. Lunch is not included. Please bring your own packed lunch.
